Winners of 28th Warsaw Film Festival

The 28th edition of Warsaw Film Festival has now ended. That has been some week! Almost 200 screenings  throughout and 24 actually seen during the week - not a record of my festival presence, but still.
One must consciously mention that this wasn't perhaps the best festival possible, some films were there for no apparent reason. Maybe one shouldn't boast about the magic two hundred, but rather stick to the ones actually and really worth watching. But, truth be told, since it's Poland's only festival of that calibre, let them choose films they (the organisers) like.
Now it's finally time to announce the winners (but just in the main categories).

International Competition/ Grand Prix:
TANGO LIBRE dir. Frederic Fonteyne (France, Belgium)

Best Director:
