Documentary 'Dahomey', about African art stolen by Europe, wins at the Berlinale. The film, directed by French-Senegalese filmmaker Mati Diop, documents the return of 26 works that were stolen by France in the 19th century.

The triumph of Dahomey was a coherent end to a highly politicized edition dotted with controversies, in which documentaries have stood out above other genres. Among them was A Traveler's Needs, the new release by Hong Sangsoo, which took the Grand Jury Prize.
