Edinburgh Film Fest Announces Winners

Edinburgh was definitely the place to be this weekend for talented Brit debutants, with the International Film Festival's big prizes going to Duncan Jones' Moon and Katie Jarvis for her performance in Fish Tank.

Jones' cracking low-budget sci-fi Moon won the Michael Powell Award for best new British feature, awarded by a five-strong panel including Joe Wright and Frank Langella. The prestigious gong was won last year by Somers Town.

Katie Jarvis, the 18 year-old newcomer who took Cannes by storm, repeated the trick in Edinburgh. She collected the Best Performance for her role in urban-set drama Fish Tank. “This has been an amazing year for me in more ways than one," she enthused. "I was lucky enough to spend my 18th birthday in Edinburgh last week, where Fish Tank was shown, and this is such a great present."

As well as the feature film categories, the EIFF recognised a host of international filmmakers in short and animated filmmaking. Click here for more on the festival or check out the full list of winners below...
