Winners of the awards at the 32nd Tokyo International Film Festival (TIFF) were announced during the Closing Ceremony. The Grand Prix went to the Danish film Uncle. Director Frelle Petersen spoke about his struggles making the film: “We felt we had already won when we found out we were selected to compete in the Tokyo International Film Festival,” he said. “We were hung over the next day, because it was such a great reason for celebrating.”
