Nick Whitfield’s Skeletons was recognised by judges as the best new British feature at the Edinburgh International Film Festival this year, taking home the prestigious Michael Powell Award on Saturday night.
Skeletons, which has been described as a quirky ghost comedy, was victorious because it "exemplifies the spirit of Michael Powell in its original vision and dark humor”, according to the jury. Previous winners include Shane Meadows (for Somers Town) and Duncan Jones (Moon).
Other award winners included Ryan Piers Williams’s Dry Land, which won Best International Feature, while Gareth Edwards picked up this year's new directors award for his film Monsters. Laura Poitras won the Best Documentary award for The Oath.
Directors UK would like to congratulate all those nominated at this year’s Edinburgh International Film Festival. For more on this story, click here.
