American actor and musician Jeremy Renner was awarded with the Festival's President Award during the closing ceremony. The actor introduced the new movie "Wind River", directed by Taylor Sheridan, in which he's starring.
Renner, who has recently broken his arms, was unable to hold his two Crystal Globe awards.
"Little Crusader", directed by Vaclav Kadrnka, won the Crystal Globe for the best feature film, along with the prize of $25,000. The film is a co-production between Czech Republic, Slovakia and Italy.
Every year the KVIFF presents around 200 films from around the world. Twelve of them are part of the main competition this year.
