South Korean director Kim Ki-duk has won the Grand Prix at the French Festival Du Film Politique for his film "The Net," the organizing committee said Sunday.

"The Net" depicts a hapless North Korean fisherman's struggle to return to his communist country after straying into South Korean waters due to engine failure.
