The curtain fell on the 70th edition of the Cannes Film Festival on Sunday, with Italy’s Jasmine Trinca winning the Un Certain Regard acting prize for her performance in 'Fortunata'. A film by actor-director Sergio Castellitto, ‘Fortunata’ follows the journey of a freelance hairdresser in pursuit of her dream to open her own salon in the Roman suburbs.

The film was one of two Italian films to appear in the Un Certain Regard section, running parallel to the official selection and judged by a separate jury headed by actress Uma Thurman. The other Italian film to feature in the Un Certain Regard section was Annarita Zambrano's directing debut, 'Dopo la guerra'.
