[Aaron Gerow]

It was announced that Otake Shinobu was given the best actress award at 
the Moscow Film Festival. She appeared in the film _Fukuro_, directed by 
Shindo Kaneto, who also won a special acheivement award from the festival 
(he has won several awards at Moscow, including the grand prize for 
_Hadaka no shima_ in 1961). Japanese actresses have also had a good run 
at Moscow since Ichikawa Mikako won best actress last year and Miyazawa 
Rie the year before.
