A "no budget" film shot in Scotland has scooped a prize at the prestigious British Independent Film Awards.
The Inheritance, a road movie about two warring brothers who journey from Edinburgh to the Isle of Skye in search of their late father's inheritance, won the Raindance prize for new work at the awards, which were dominated by Control, the film about Joy Division singer Ian Curtis.
The Inheritance was shot in 11 days in February this year by director Charles-Henri Belleville, one of the youngest directors to be nominated at the awards at the age of 23.
Control, which was made for £3m, won five prizes, including Best British Independent Film. Sam Riley, 27, who played the iconic singer, was named Most Promising Newcomer.
Anton Corbijn also won Best Director for his first feature film. Control, which he shot in black and white with a sound track including songs from New Order, David Bowie, the Sex Pistols, and Iggy Pop, also earned him the title of Best Debut Director.
Toby Kebbell, 25, who played Joy Division's manager Rob Gretton, won Best Supporting Actor.
