Woody Allen won a lifetime achievement prize at the festival

The film by director Bahman Ghobadi tells the story of villagers told by a mutilated boy that war is getting near.

The best actor and actress awards went to the stars of Brothers, a Danish tale based around the Afghanistan war.

Best screenplay went to Omagh, by Peter Travis, based on the 1998 bombing of a town of Omagh in Northern Ireland.

The British-Irish film follows the story of one family whose lives were torn apart by the death of a son in the bombing, which killed 29 people.

Backed by Channel 4 and Ireland's RTE, it is written by Paul Greengrass and Guy Hibbert.

Best director was won by China's Xi Jinglei for Letter From An Unknown Woman, about a man in the late 1940s who learns he has a child from a romance with a woman he does not remember.

The San Sebastian festival ended on Saturday after nine days of films, which included the world premiere of Woody Allen's new film Melinda and Melinda.
