Iranian filmmaker Ramtin Lavvafipour has been awarded at the 2009 edition of Valladolid International Film Festival in Spain.
Lavvafipour's Calm Down and Count to Seven, received the festival's best feature film award, Fars News Agency reported.
The young director's first feature-length production, which participated in the event's Meeting Point section, was announced the best by an international jury board consisting of Chus Gutierrez, Lluis Bonet and Margaret von Schiller.
Made in the style of documentary realism and with dynamic camera work, the 90-minute film is a sensitive reflection of the changes in a small fishing village as it moves from its traditional lifestyle toward consumerism.
Calm Down and Count to Seven has won numerous international awards including the VPRO Tiger Award of the Netherlands' International Film Festival for its level of craft and cinematic intelligence.
The 54th Valladolid International Film Festival was held from Oct. 23 to 31, 2009, screening films in the Official Section, Time of History and Meeting Point sections.
