The Regard d Or of this 22nd FIFF edition goes to Flower in the Pocket, the first feature film of 29 year old Malaysian director Liew Seng Tat. With both gravity and humour, his film tells the story of two little boys who are growing up without their mother and neglected by their father. Hope springs from everyday difficulties. The International Jury points out that Liew Seng Tat managed to take a tender and poetic look at a complex and rich particularity of his society, without forgetting the cinematographic adventure.

The Fribourg International Film Festival FIFF ranks among the largest audience festivals of Switzerland. During one week, the programme of about a hundred films, conceived by artistic director Edouard Waintrop, attracted 25,500 spectators, resulting in stable figures compared to 2007.
