"We're delighted to present the Michael Powell Award for best British feature. This year it goes to a quietly explosive film which represents classic filmmaking at its best. This is a measured yet provocative film, a masterclass in understated acting that was the unanimous choice of the jury."

Tied with Charlotte Rampling for 45 Years (2015). -Jury member Karen Gillan: "I think I speak to all up and coming Scottish actors when I say James Cosmo is a huge inspiration, his acting is a lesson to us all, you show us how it's done."

Tied with James Cosmo for The Pyramid Texts (2015). -Jury member Ian Hart: "There's an old actor's joke when someone's rehearsing a scene and they come across a certain piece of text and they say I don't need that line, I can do that with a look. But most people can't so the line goes back in. But certain people can, they can do more with a gesture, they can do more with a look than most people can do with ten words, and this is why this award goes to Charlotte Rampling."

"We found Scrapbook to be incredibly unique, singularly captivating, unlike anything we have seen before. Congratulations to Mike Hoolboom on making such a moving film."

"The Diary of a Teenage Girl is imaginative both visually and narratively, emotionally gripping and completely unapologetic in tone. We had a tough decision to make as we had some very strong contenders."

"We've seen such a variety of films, and all of us have our favourites, and our guilty pleasures - and what's more, they've all been very different! It was genuinely challenging to pick just one - but in the end, our vote was unanimous."

"Out of a very strong field, the Jury has selected The Wolfpack as the best documentary in competition at the 2015 Edinburgh International Film Festival. Shot over five years, the director Crystal Moselle turned a chance encounter with six brothers into an intriguing, intimate portrait that shines a light on the warmth, humour and underlying tension of an extraordinary situation."

"We would also like to give a special mention to the lead actress in Cipriana, Juliana Boa who gave an incredibly brave performance for such a young actress."

"We would also like to give a special mention to Ahmet Simsek's performance in Shadowboxer whose work we found incredibly moving and touching, a really captivating performance."
