TORONTO -- Bohdan Slama's German/Czech drama Something Like Happiness picked up the Louve d'Or award Sunday as the Montreal Festival of New Cinema and New Media wrapped its 34th edition. Slama received the grand prize for his third film after the award-winning Wild Bees capped off a successful 10-day run for Montreal's third summer film festival. The festival also gave the Radio-Canada Screenplay Award to Mohammad Rasoulof's Iranian film Iron Island. The dark comedy about a group of homeless people attempting to survive atop a sinking oil tanker in the Persian Gulf also received an honorable mention from Quebec critics, who gave their AQCC Award to U.S. director Lodge Kerrigan for Keane.
