"The French short film 'La Danse, l’Art de la Rencontre' ('Dance and the Art of Encounters') won first prize at the first Baghdad international film festival held in the Iraqi capital since 2005, Agence France-Presse reported. Directed by Domenica Hervieu, the documentary is a poetic exploration of the world of dance. Tight security surrounded the festival, held at the Palestine Hotel, where 63 films from around the world were screened."
