The French film The Lady, Stones and People by Paul Rambaud and Claude Delhaye, a documentary about the Lady of Elche, masterpiece of Iberian art, is the best film of the 3rd International Archaeology Film Festival in Split, that ended Friday evening by the award ceremony at the Museum of Croatian Archaeological Monuments in Split. The festival jury referred to it as the "most integral film at the festival in which the ethical, aesthetic and thematic dimension blend into a harmonious whole".

The second prize was awarded to another French film – Riot at the Dam by Jean-Luc Bouvret that speaks about the demonstrations organized in protest of the dam construction in Portugal, at the site abounding in prehistoric finds. The third prize was awarded to the documentary The Enamel Dome by Mohammad Ehsani, a story about vandalism and archaeological monuments and thus one of the most serious problems of world heritage.

All three prizes are replicas of the sculpture Croatian King by Vasko Lipovac, kept at the Museum of Croatian Monuments and a diploma.

The audience award went to Vedran Kundić, director of the film The Making of a Replica of the Stone Pluteus from the Church of St. Peter the Great in Dubrovnik.
