The major awards of the 71st Berlin Film Festival were announced on Friday, with the Golden Bear for Best Film, the top award, going to "Bad Luck Banging or Loony Porn" directed by Romanian director Radu Jude.

The runner-up Silver Bear Grand Jury Prize was pocketed by the Japanese film "Wheel of Fortune and Fantasy" directed by Ryusuke Hamaguchi. South Korean director Hong Sangsoo also got a Silver Bear for the screenplay of his film "Introduction."

Due to the pandemic, this year's Berlin Film Festival has been divided into two parts: the online segment was from March 1 to March 5. And the award ceremony will be held from June 9 to June 20.

Film directors Jasmila Žbanić of Bosnia-Herzegovina, Italian Gianfranco Rosi, Hungarian Ildikó Enyedi, Adina Pintilie of Romania, Israeli Nadav Lapid and Iran's Mohammad Rasoulof comprised the main competition judging unit, though no chairperson was designated.

Five of them were in Berlin to review the shortlisted films, while Rasoulof participated remotely.

The arrangement for the announcement of the main awards was very simple, and lasted only about 15 minutes.

The Berlin Film Festival removed the gender classification of performance awards for the first time this year. German actress Marlen Egert won the Silver Bear for Best Leading Performance for the movie "I'm Your Man" and Hungarian actress Lilla Kizlinger won the Silver Bear for Best Supporting Performance for "Forest – I See You Everywhere."

No Chinese film was shortlisted in the main competition this year, but "Day is Gone" by Chinese director Zhang Dalei won the Silver Bear Jury Prize in the Short Film unit, while Han Shuai's film "Summer Blur" won the Grand Prix for the Best Film in the Kplus competition, a competition program screening state-of-the-art international cinema.

The winners will receive their trophies at the awards ceremony in June.
