MOSCOW -- The 27th edition of the Moscow International Film Festival closed Sunday on a note of nationalist self-congratulation when the main prize, the Gold St. George, went to Russian director Alexei Uchitel's Soviet-era drama Kosmos Kak Predchuvstviye (Dreaming of Space). Accepting the prize at a gala closing ceremony at Moscow's Pushkin film theater, Uchitel said, "First of all, I am glad that we (Russia) won," before thanking the festival jury and organizers. He concluded his remarks by saying, "The winner is our cinema". A special jury prize went to Finnish director Aku Louhimies' Rana Maa (Frozen Land) about a young computer hacker anxious to do something socially useful -- a choice greeted with cheers by local journalists.
