Film lovers in Doha voted for the Chinese feature film Full Circle, the story of a group of irrepressible senior citizens who decide to enter a reality show on television, and Searching for Sugar Man,a documentary on the life of enigmatic musician Rodriguez, as the ‘Best of the Fest’.
Both films received $50,000 each as prize money and DTFF will screen the films again.
