Winners of the 27th Shanghai Intl Film Festival Golden Goblet Awards unveiled

　　The Golden Goblet Award ceremony of the 27th Shanghai International Film Festival took place at Shanghai Grand Theatre on Saturday night.

　　Kyrgyzstan's Black, Red, Yellow won the Golden Goblet Award for the Best Feature Film category. Although the director, Aktan Arym Kubat, is an acclaimed filmmaker known as "the poetic symbol of Central Asia cinema," this was the first film most Chinese audiences ever saw that came from Kyrgyzstan.

　　Black, Red, Yellow was the closing film of the festival. It tells the story about a skilled carpet weaver, who falls in love with a horse herder. Her unfulfilled love leaves behind an unfinished carpet, which is unveiled at the man's funeral.

　　The Grand Jury Prix was shared by two movies: On Summer Sand by Japanese director Shinya Tamada and Wild Nights, Tamed Beasts by Chinese director Wang Tong.

　　Chinese filmmaker Cao Baoping won the award for Best Director for his creation One Wacky Summer. In 2015, he received the same award for his previous film, The Dead End, at the 18th SIFF. One Wacky Summer is "sharper, more humorous and down to earth," compared to his previous works, Cao said on the red carpet before the award ceremony.

　　Korek Bojanowski and Katia Priwieziencew, two playwrights for the Polish film Loss of Balance, won the award for Best Screenplay.

　　Jose Martins won the Best Actor Award for his performance in The Scent of Things Remembered, a joint production of Portugal and Brazil directed by Antonio Ferreira.
