Karlovy Vary, Czech Republic - A disquieting family drama, Angel at Sea from Belgian director Frederic Dumont on Saturday won the top prize at the 44th Karlovy Vary Film Festival. The festival's seven-member grand jury, presided over by leading French film producer Claudie Ossard, selected the movie for the festival's Crystal Globe from a total of 14 films. Angel at Sea tells the story of the relationship between a suicidal father and this 12-year-old son.

A total of 226 films from 64 nations were screened in the eight- day festival, including 19 world premieres.
