A Swedish film won the Golden Lion for Best Film, the highest prize awarded at the 71st Venice film festival which ended here on Saturday.

En duva satt pa en gren och funderade pa tillvaron (A Pigeon Sat on a Branch Reflecting on Existence) by Swedish director Roy Andersson is the story of two traveling salesmen who, like modern times' Don Quixote and Sancho Panza, take the audience on a wandering through human destinies.

The Silver Lion for Best Director went to Russian director Andrei Konchalovsky for his The Postman's White Nights, which focuses on the lives of the inhabitants of a remote Russian village. Endit
