MADRID -- Gerardo Herrero's Rough Winds took top honors as the ninth annual Malaga Spanish Film Festival wrapped Saturday, though by all accounts there were no real losers as the festival maintained its position as a platform for Spanish cinema. Though Winds was handed the 60,000 ($72,000) prize for best film, Daniel Sanchez Arevalo's DarkBlueAlmostBlack won the special jury prize, critics award and best screenplay, while David Trueba's Welcome Home snagged the directing nod. Manuel Iborra's period piece The Idiot Maiden won most of the acting awards, including actress (Silvia Abascal), supporting actress (Macarena Gomez) and supporting actor (Roberto San Martin). Best actor went to Juan Diego for El Triunfo and Remake.
