Doha Tribeca Film Festival Executive Director Amanda Palmer and Robert De Niro handed out two audience awards, worth US$50,000 each, at the festival&#8217;s closing night gala on Nov. 1. Coincidentally, both winning films  were directed by women.

Flemish filmmaker Erik Lamens&#8216; SM-rechter / SM Judge (above) was chosen  the best narrative feature at the 2009 Fetish Film Festival, held in the northern German city of Kiel from Oct. 29-31.
Inspired by a true story, Lamens&#8217; SM Judge tells the story of Belgian judge Koen Aurousseau, who, as per Flanders Today, &#34;was accused of physical assault and incitement to prostitution&#34; in 1997. Following his conviction, Aurousseau found himself mired in a deep emotional and financial hole; his only source of support was his wife, Magda, the person who&#8217;d initially asked him to get involved in S&#38;M sex practices.
“I heard on TV the other day that this is &#8216;the  most controversial film of the year,&#8217; Lamens is quoted [...]]]></description>
