Film director Jim Jarmusch received the prestigious top award at the Venice Film Festival.

82nd Venice Film Festival Concludes with Jim Jarmusch's "The Father, Mother, Sister, Brother" Taking Top Honours

The 82nd Venice Film Festival came to a close with an exciting announcement of the jury's votes, as American director Jim Jarmusch's film "The Father, Mother, Sister, Brother" was awarded the prestigious "Golden Lion."

Set in three distinct locations - the USA, Ireland, and France - the film explores complex relationships between adult children and their parents. This marks Jarmusch's first "Golden Lion" win in his illustrious career.

The award ceremony, held at the festival, was a star-studded event, with Scott A Garfitt and Alessandra Tarantino providing several photos of the event.

In addition to the top prize, the "Golden Lion," "The Voice of Hinna Rajab" by Tunisian director Kaouther Ben Hania was awarded the "Grand Jury Prize." This moving film tells the story of a 6-year-old girl's rescue in Gaza.

American Ben Safdie was honoured with the "Silver Lion" for best direction for his work on "Uncut Gems," which stars Dwayne Johnson.

The awards were not limited to acting and directing, as Chinese actress Zhao Shuzhen was named Best Actress for her performance in Zhang Yimou's "The Father." Italian actor Toni Servillo won Best Actor for his role in Paolo Sorrentino's "The Traitor."

It is worth noting that the prize for the best screenplay at the 82nd Venice Film Festival was not directly mentioned in the available search results.

The 82nd Venice Film Festival was a memorable event, marked by the celebration of exceptional films and talent. The award ceremony was captured beautifully by Garfitt and Tarantino's photographs, providing a lasting reminder of this year's festivities.
