Bisons by Fribourg director Pierre Monnard also picked up several awards on Friday: best actor for Karim Barras, best film score for Nicolas Rabaeus and best cinematography for Joseph Areddy.
Set in the Jura mountains, Bisons tells the story of a young Swiss wrestling champion who is lured by his brother into a series of clandestine fights to raise money to save the family farm.
Maud Wyler in La voie royale by Valais director Frédéric Mermoud won the prize for best supporting actress.

Maud Wyler plays the role of one of the teachers.
The prize for best actress went to Ella Rumpf in Le théorème de Marguerite. The Franco-Swiss actress had already won the César for best new actress last February. Ella Rumpf plays Marguerite, a student faced with the failure of her thesis. She gives up everything and becomes a shoe saleswoman before discovering a gift for mah-jongg.
The award for best documentary went to Lisa Gerig’s documentary L’audition. Four rejected asylum seekers relive their hearing during the asylum procedure. L’audition won the Solothurn Prize last January.
