The winning films in all twelve categories were announced at the Raindance Film Festival awards ceremony this Saturday, just as the festival drew to a close this weekend. With record-breaking attendance and a vast number of submissions, of which 100 feature films and 176 shorts were screened at this year’s festival, it seems to be the most successful one yet.
