The jury headed by US director James Gray awarded the prize for best director to Japan's Kiyoshi Kurosawa for "Seventh Code", an industrial espionage action flick.
A special jury prize went to "Quod Erat Demonstrandum" by Romanian director Andrei Gruzsniczk, in which a mathematician draws the wrath of state police by getting an article published in a US magazine without the permission of the authorities.
American Matthew McConaughey won best actor for his role in "Dallas Buyers Club" by Jean-Marc Vallee, while his compatriot Scarlett Johansson was awarded best actress for her performance in "Her" by Spike Jonze.
