A Romanian black comedy about a divorced dad's frustration and love for his 5-year-old daughter won the Heart of Sarajevo prize Saturday at the end of the nine-day festival.

Toata Lumea Din Familia Noastra (Everybody In Our Family), directed by Radu Jude, won the best movie award at the 18th Sarajevo Film Festival, one of the largest in Europe.

Uliks Fehmiu won the best actor award for his performance in the Serbian movie Ustanicka Ulica (Redemption Street).

Marija Pikic won the best actress award for her role in Bosnia's Aida Begic's movie Djeca (Children of Sarajevo).

US superstar Angelina Jolie, whose recent directorial debut that dealt with Bosnia's 1992-1995 war, was a special guest of the festival earlier. During her stay in the Bosnian capital she was made an honorary citizen of Sarajevo for her efforts in "keeping the truth about wartime events in Sarajevo and Bosnia-Hercegovina alive."

Other films among the more than 200 screened at the event included a documentary Football Rebels, directed by Gilles Perez and Gilles Rof.

The Sarajevo film festival was born as an act of resistance during the 1992-1995 war when Sarajevo was under siege.
