Last night at the close of the 37th International Film Festival Rotterdam "Persepolis" won the KPN Audience Award. The audience gave it an whopping rating, with an average of 4.60 out of 5.

You can see the whole list on the IFFR website.

Rutger Hauer presented the award together with a cheque worth 7500 Euro. Filmmakers Marjane Satrapi and Vincent Paronnaud weren't there but Rutger quipped that 'the other Rutger' (festival director Rutger Wolfson) would make sure the money would reach them.

The winner wasn't really a surprise: ever since its first showing it was number one in the polls. And last Thursday it already won the MovieSquad Award (worth another 2000 Euro), which is the festival award granted by a jury of youths.
