EDINBURGH FILM FESTIVAL AWARDS

CRITICAL enthusiasm for a new wave of British filmmaking was reflected in the prizes announced at the 54th Edinburgh Film Festival.
Pawel Pawlikowski’s lyrical, Venice-bound ‘Last Resort’ received the Michael Powell Award for Best New British Feature, whilst the Standard Life Audience Award confirmed the crowd-pleasing qualities of Stephen Daldry’s ‘Billy Elliot’.
Rising star, Aiden Gillen received the Pathe British Performance Award for his role in Jamie Thraves’ twentysomething comedy, ‘The Low Down’.
One of the most widely admired features of the festival was Mexican Director Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu’s, ‘Amores Perros’, after he received the Guardian New Directors Award and may now secure a British distribution deal on the back of its reception in Edinburgh.
