Spanish rural thriller, The Beasts won three top awards including the grand Prix for best film, best director award to Sorogoyen and best actor award to Denis Menochet. best director honors for Sorogoyen and best actor for his star Denis Menochet.

 A brooding, psychological thriller set in rural Spain, The Beasts tells the story of a cosmopolitan French couple, Antoine and Olga (Menochet and actress Marina Foïs), who settle in a small village hoping to connect with nature. Instead, their presence soon arouses hostility — and eventually, downright violence — from some of the locals. The film has been praised for its feral, even savage, portrayal of the hardscrabble realities of the majestic Galician countryside. 

The Tokyo Grand Prix includes a cash prize of Three million yen, while the director and the actor will receive 300,000 yen each. The Festival’s Special Jury Prize of 500,000 yen was given to Houman Seyedi’s Iranian drama, World war  III, which tells the tale of a poor laborer, played by Mohsen Tanabandeh (A Hero). He works on a movie set, where a film condemning dictators is being shot. But he soon finds that the moviemakers themselves turn tyrannical. World War III ends in a horrific tragedy.
