Best UK film is David Graham Scott’s Iboga Nights.
The Open City Docs Fest has awarded its Grand Jury prize to Judgment in Hungary by Hungarian director Eszter Hajdú.
The chair of the jury, Pawel Pawlikowski, said: “Judgment in Hungary is a pure observational documentary and yet it has all the qualities of great drama: compelling characters, twists, turns, and moments of horror and even comedy.
“By presenting the idiosyncrasies of the Hungarian legal system, it manages to capture the racism faced by the Roma community in Hungary. Like all great films, by focusing on something very narrow and specific it holds up a mirror to something universal.”
The film is shot entirely in the confines of a courtroom, looking at the case of right wing extremists who attacked Gypsy communities.

Wednesday at the Glasgow Film Festival was a good day for catching up on good things missed earlier in the week, with second screenings for romance The Lunchbox and documentary These Birds Walk, whilst there were fans doing Kate Bush impressions on the ordinarily peaceful Rose Street in anticipation of the 1939 Wuthering Heights. Iboga Nights director David Graham Scott popped into the Gft to talk about making that film and about the reality of his own experience in tackling his drug addiction through the use of the African hallucinogen. Chilean film Things The Way They Are screened at Cineworld and Mrgaret Tait Award-winning artist Rachel Maclean brought together a group of creative types in the Cca for Tae Think Again, an event focused on exploring contemporary Scottish identity. Although inspired by the forthcoming independence referendum it wasn't a political event...
