As the 66th Venice Film Festival wrapped up Saturday, 1428 was awarded the Orizzonti Prize for best documentary. It was the only Chinese film to pick up an award this year.

The film captures people's lives immediately after the Wenchuan Earthquake hit Southwest China on May 12, 2008. The title, 1428, is the exact time that the tragedy happened, 2.28pm.

Festival judges commented that the fi lm was "sincere and human-oriented."
