“The Closer”, a Brooklyn-set tale of betrayal and greed among friends, won the best feature prize at the Big Island Film Festival, which wrapped earlier this week in Hawaii. Eli Hershko wrote, produced and directed the picture, Variety reports.

“Catfish Blues,” the tale of a reclusive young boy who begins to open up when he joins a 90-year-old woman looking for lost animals, scored two trophies: best family feature and audience choice feature. Junior Bonner directed.

Writer/director James Raue’s mockumentary “Psychoanalysis” received the prize for best foreign feature. The pic, which follows Australia’s top suicide prevention specialist as he attempts to discover why five of his patients killed themselves in a single week, was made for $10,000, said Raue.

The best Hawaii feature award went to “Throuple,” a tale of love and madness that spins around a conflicted young couple as they interact with a polyamorous trio and a mysterious loner. Phillips Payson directed.

The Big Island Film Festival celebrated its 11th edition this year.
