Ghobadi Wins Golden Shell in San Sebastian

Bahman Ghobadi won the Golden Shell this weekend at the San Sebastian Film Festival in Spain for his new film, "Turtles Can Fly."

"This film has moved us all, not only because of the terrible conditions in which it was filmed, but also because ... despite the tragedy which it recounts, it is filled with humanity, poetry and even humour," said the festival jury, according to a report in Reuters.
