SAN SEBASTIAN (Reuters) – Women were the big winners at the final night of the San Sebastian Film Festival on Saturday, which saw American actress Jessica Chastain share the top acting prize with 16-year-old Danish actress Flora Ofelia Hofmann Lindahl. Romanian movie “Blue Moon” took the Golden Shell for best film at the 69th edition of Spain’s biggest film festival. In “The Eyes of Tammy Faye”, two-time Oscar nominee Chastain depicts the rise and fall of Christian televangelist Tammy Faye Bakker, a role that is already generating Oscar buzz for the star. Tatiana Huezo won best Latin American film for “Prayers for the Stolen”. The lone male winner in the individual categories was British director Terence Davies, who won best screenplay for his Siegfried Sassoon biopic, “Benediction”.
