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.
Selected from a shortlist by the 2014 Raindance Jury, which included star-studded names such as Andrew Scott from BBC’s Sherlock, Alice Lowe from Sightseers and Hot Fuzz, and Amy Hubbard, the casting director of Homeland and 24, here is the list of winning films:
