- VENICE, Italy (AFP) - Veteran US director Brian De Palma won the Best Director award at the Venice film festival on Saturday for "Redacted," his hard-hitting Iraq war film. The dramatisation of the rape and murder of an Iraqi girl by US soldiers, was also honoured on Friday with the Future Film Festival Digital Award, for the film that makes the best use of animation or visual effects. De Palma, who is best known for such violent fictions as the psychic thriller "Carrie" and the gangster movie "Scarface" (1983), turns 67 on Tuesday. The film exposing the ugly reality of the Iraq war seared the big screen at the Venice film festival Friday, with director Brian De Palma saying he hoped it would help end America's military occupation. "The pictures are what will stop the war," De Palma told a news conference after the showing of the movie.
