Films from the South's main prize is the Silver Mirror Award, and this year's award went to the South-Korean masterpiece The Housemaid by director Im Sang-Soo.
Here's what our jury had to say about the film.
The prize goes to a film that by elegant means manages to engage the audience all the way to its dramatic conclusion, with precise charachters and an unpredictable and exciting story. With its rare and violent climax it also manages to make us think about the underlying and deeply fundamented ethics of the film.
