Panaji, January 24

Danish World War II drama “Into the Darkness” won the Golden Peacock award at the closing ceremony of the 51st edition of the International Film Festival of India (IFFI) here.

Directed by Anders Refn, the 152-minute film chronicles the complex, emotional turmoil which the people of Denmark had to undergo during the Nazi occupation of the country. The award consists of a cash prize of Rs 40 lakh, to be shared equally between Refn and producer Lene Borglum. The duo, however, were not present.

A total of 224 films were screened at the festival. Japanese historical drama “Wife of a Spy” by Kiyoshi Kurosawa was the closing film at the nine-day gala. — PTI

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
