The 38th edition of the Love International Film Festival Mons wrapped on Saturday with the announcement of its victors. The International Jury, presided over by Belgian filmmaker Laura Wandel and further composed of actor Yoann Blanc, director and artistic director Anne Falguères, actor Robinson Stévenin, director and screenwriter Léo Karmann and actress and author Joséphine Draï, chose to award its Grand Prize to the Iranian movie Until Tomorrow [+lee también:

, Ali Asgari’s second feature film which was unveiled in the 2022 Berlinale, which notably won an award in Valencia, and which is tragically relevant given the current situation in Iran.

The jury then handed their own prize to the Spanish film El agua [+lee también:

, which is Elena Lopez Riera’s debut feature film. Discovered in the Directors’ Fortnight, the movie sits at the crossroads between fiction and documentary to explore a popular belief in south-eastern Spain that certain women are predestined to be carried away by floods because they have "water inside them". The Screenplay Prize, meanwhile, winged its way to Anaïs Barbeau-Lavalette for her re-reading of Romain Gary’s book White Dog, which tells an autobiographical tale about the novelist and his wife, Jean Seberg, as they take in a lost German Shepherd dog trained to attack black people. The Quebecker also bagged the Citizens’ Outlook Award.

Last but not least, the jury singled out Reinaldo Amien Gutierrez, who leads the cast of the Costa Rican director living in Brussels Valentina Maurel’s debut feature film, I Have Electric Dreams [+lee también:

, which hasn’t stopped winning awards since its presentation in a world premiere in Locarno last summer, where Amien Gutierrez likewise bagged himself a trophy.

Cineuropa was also present at the festival, ready to hand out its award, which ultimately went to Frédéric Sojcher’s fifth feature film Le cours de la vie [+lee también:

, presented in a world premiere in Mons. A genuine declaration of love for film, the movie follows the reunion of a successful screenwriter and her first love over the course of a day during a film-writing masterclass. Le cours de la vie also scooped the RTBF Prize.
