KUALA LUMPUR: They say you can't keep a good film down. This rings true with Yasmin Ahmad's hit movie, Sepet, which continued its winning streak at the 18th Tokyo International Film Festival. 

Sepet won the Best Asian Film Award in the Winds of Asia section of the festival that concluded on Sunday. It beat Singapore's Be With Me, directed by Eric Khoo, which received a Special Mention and was also the opening film of this year's Directors' Fortnight at Cannes.
