The festival's organizers awarded Raivo E. Tamm the title of best actor for his lead role in Toomas Hussar's "Mushrooming," a press release from the Estonian Film Institute said.

"Mushrooming," a black comedy about a trip to the woods gone wrong, tied for first place as Film of the Year in Estonia last year and was submitted along with one other film for consideration for the Oscars last year.

The Estonian-Finnish project "Purge," based on Finnish author Sofi Oksanen's bestselling novel of the same name, won two prizes at the Tiburon festival - best director went to Antti Jokinen and best cinematography went to Rauno Ronkainen.The movie draws from Oksanen's pre-WWII family history in Estonia.

The Tiburon International Film Festival was held from April 11 to 19.
