As well as the winners (indicated in Bold) below we were on the red carpet to speak with the nominees and guests at the event.

Other winners include documentary Welcome To Leith.
Tolga Karaçelik’s Turkish drama Ivy has won the best feature award at the East End Film Festival (July 1-12) in London.
It marks Karaçelik’s second film, after 2010 feature Tollbooth, and was shot by Nuri Bilge Ceylan’s Dop, Gökhan Tiryaki.
Set onboard a hulking cargo ship moored off the coast of Egypt, the film follows a skeleton crew of misfit sailors, forced to stay onboard after their paymasters go bust. But it isn’t long before power structures dissolve, leading to tension, threats of violence, and strange apparitions.
Ivy will receive its UK premiere at London’s Rio Cinema tomorrow (July 11).
It was chosen by a jury comprising Eeff’s 2015 Director-in-Residence Noaz Deshe (White Shadow); writer Irvine Welsh (Trainspotting); director Amma Asante (Belle); artist Viv Albertine; and director Ross Clarke (Dermaphoria).
Karaçelik will be invited back to the festival in 2016 as Director-in-Residence.

Photo credit: Will Thomas Freeman Back in September last year, an open casting was held in London to find a 16 year old boy to play the lead role in Rufus, a sophisticated coming-of-age vampire movie filming in Canada.
Newcomer Rory Saper was spotted after casting assistant Olivia Brittain found some short films he and a friend posted to YouTube and invited him to attend an audition with casting director Amelia Hashemi - and he landed the role!
Director David Schultz knew right away the young actor had what he was looking for, even with his limited experience.
"We looked at about 300 kids. It's really tough to find a 15-year-old. Casting agents usually give you someone who is 18, 19," he says. "Rory came in at the last minute and when he walked in, I thought, 'This is the kid.' Of course, the producer is all stressed and says, 'We looked at...
