Israeli film director Dror Shaul's 'Sweet Mud,' a film that depicts kibbutz life in the 70's and questions socialism, came away with first prize at the 10th Independent International Film Festival in Bermuda, Ynetnews reported.

The festival's judges included actress Carrie Fisher, who said of the film, "I love films that are made from the point of view of children. The child in the film has a mentally ill mother, and tried so hard to make his mother okay."

She added, "Ultimately, Sweet Mud is a very sad but hopeful film. It is a dark film with a light at the end of the tunnel."

Shaul shared the USD 5,000 prize with the British director of 'CashBack,' Sean Ellis.
