""Father Mother Sister Brother," Jim Jarmusch's quietly humorous relationship triptych, won the top prize at the Venice Film Festival Saturday. The film about the relationships between adult siblings, and with their parents, stars Adam Driver, Vicky Krieps and Cate Blanchett. It was an upset win over some of the festival's bigger hits, including "The Voice of Hind Rajab," which won the runner-up award, and Park Chan-wook's "No Other Choice," which left empty-handed."
"Kaouther Ben Hania's devastating Gaza docudrama "The Voice of Hind Rajab" won the Silver Lion, the runner-up prize. The film is about attempt to rescue a 6-year-old girl from a bullet ridden call in Gaza City in January 2024 and uses the real audio from her call to the Palestine Red Crescent Society. The film premiered later in the festival, but its impact was not dulled. It received a 22-minute standing ovation after its premiere."
