The jury recognized his exceptional work.

Special 70th Berlinale award: 'Delete History'
Many films competing at the Berlin film fest were dark, but this satire by French directors Benoît Delépine and Gustave Kervern was absolutely hilarious.

The film was recognized with a special Silver Bear for the 70th anniversary of the Berlinale.
