'Rwanda' beat out such titles as "I, Claudia," "Cape of Good Hope," "Electric Shadows," "House of Flying Daggers" and "Motorcycle Diaries" for the award.
Pete Travis' "Omagh," earned the Discovery Award, which was voted on by about 750 media attending Toronto. The Irish-British co-production was about the 1998 bombing of an Irish market town. "In My Father's Den," the first feature from New Zealand director Brad McGann, took the Fipresci prize.
Thanks to 'Leonard'.
