Sarajevo - Tilva Ros, a Serbian film about love and skateboarding, has won the 16th Sarajevo Film Festival.
Marko Todorovic, one of the actors in the film by director Nikola Lezaic, took the best actor award at the close of the festival late Saturday.
Tilva Ros is a drama about two boys from a mining town in Serbia who try to win over a French girl with their skateboard stunts.
It was among the 201 feature, short and documentary films from 57 countries shown during the nine-day festival that drew an audience of around around 100,000.
Clint Eastwood's Invictus whose star Morgan Freeman was the festival's guest of honor was the closing film at the festival.
The Sarajevo Film Festival was launched as a symbol of 'cultural resistance' in 1994, when the city was under relentless shelling and sniper fire from Serb forces in the surrounding mountains.
Since the war ended in late 1995, the it has grown into the region's main cinematic event.
