As sequel to his debut The Last Kiss, Gabriele Muccino's Kiss Me Again explores the meaning of friendship and romance and it conquered the jury, chaired by acclaimed filmmaker John Woo, to take Best Feature Film.
Vittoria Puccini, who stars in both films, won Best Actress but neither Muccino or Puccini were at the ceremony. Christian Ulmen, who won Best Actor for Wedding Fever in Campobello, was also absent.
Several Chinese A-list stars were not seen on the red carpet this year. The only highlight was actress Zhao Wei's appearance, but that was expected as she was on this year's jury.
