The 20th Leeds International Film Festival’s Golden Owl winner for best feature film was Guillaume Malandrin’s Ça m’est égal si demain n’arrive pas / I Don’t Care If Tomorrow Never Comes, a Belgian drama about an ex-con (co-screenwriter Jacky Lambert) who decides to take his son (Robin Weerts), now living with another family, on a vacation trip. Special mention was given to Mohamed Al Daradji’s British-Dutch-Iraqi co-production Ahlaam / The Dreams. Reportedly based on true events, Ahlaam portrays the events leading up to, and the aftermath of, the 2003 invasion of Iraq as seen through the eyes of the occupants of a mental hospital
in Baghdad.
