Matt Ross took the directing award for 'Captain Fantastic' at the event Saturday night.
The winners of the Certain Regard section of the Cannes Film Festival were announced Saturday, with The Happiest Day in the Life of Olli Makitaking the top prize.
Finnish newcomer Juho Kuosmanen directed the film about the buildup to the 1962 world featherweight championship title match. The black and white film centered on the battle between country baker Olli Maki and American title holder Davey Moore. THR's review described it as a "delicate balance of humor, melancholy and sensitive human insight."
Harmonium, directed by Koji Fukada, took the jury prize. The drama centers on a Japanese family whose life is shattered after a visitor comes to live with them.
Matt Ross' Captain Fantastic won the best direction award. The film, which debuted at Sundance, stars Viggo Mortensen as the head of an eccentric family of home-schooled prodigies.
The Un Certain Regard best screenplay went to The Stopover, by Delphine and Muriel Coulin, and the special jury prize went to The Red Turtle, the animated film by Michael Dudok De Wit.
Actress Marthe Keller headed up the jury, which also included Diego Luna, Celine Sallette and Swedish director Ruben Ostlund. Eighteen films competed in the sidebar.
The top prizes for the main competition selection will be awarded on Sunday night during the closing ceremony at the Palais des Festivals in Canne
