Rome -- "Dalla Vita in Poi" (From the Waste On), a debut film from Italian Gianfrancesco Lazotti, won best film in the Taormina Film Festival's main competition limited to films from the Mediterranean region Friday, while its stars won the film's two main actor prizes.

Also on Friday, "Friendship!," a comedy from German director Markus Goller, won the prize as the best film from beyond the Mediterranean, while Emir Kusturica, the Serbian director, was honored for the Mediterranean prize for Dialogue Between Cultures co-sponsored by The Hollywood Reporter. Late Thursday, actor Colin Firth received the fifth and final Taormina Arte honor.

The main jury, headed by Berlin International Film Festival artistic director Dieter Kosslick, gave most of its honors to "Dalla Vita in Poi," the only Italian film in the prestigious Mediterranean competition, an intellectual love story centered on the letters of Katia, a woman with muscular dystrophy.
