Teza was the unanimous winner of the Golden Stallion of Yennenga at the event in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso.
Director Haile Gerima’s award was accepted by his sister Selome, who also co-produced the film.
The silver award went to South African film Nothing But The Truth, and Algerian comedy Mascarades was third.
