    The screening of UNCLE BOONMEE WHO CAN RECALL HIS PAST LIVES by Apichatpong Weerasethakul closed the 6th edition of the World Cinema Ale Kino! Festival.


    HONEY by Semih Kaplanoğlu was very highly regarded by the public and won the Audience Award. The Critics' Prize awarded by the journalists of KINO magazine, was given to POETRY by Lee Changdong, for "Finding poetry in the most simple things, and for the fact that the beauty found in them allows us to survive - although not always understand - life's catastrophes".
