"Ava," is a joint product of Iran, Canada and Qatar and Sadaf Foroughi's first feature film won the prize while its two actresses denied entry to Canada because the Canadian embassy in Turkey prevented the teens from attending Friday's TIFF premiere of "Ava."

The 42nd edition of the Toronto International Film Festival was held September 7-17 in Canada.
