We The Jury

The jury for Edinburgh International Film Festival’s Michael Powell Award gathered this morning in the penthouse of the Point Conference Centre.  With a view of the famed Edinburgh Castle in the background, EIFF Artistic Director Hannah McGill (far left) joined jurors Claudia Puig, Frank Langella, Joe Wright, Sacha Horler, and Janet Street-Porter.  Next weekend the five of them will decide the winner of the award, which gives a 20,000 pound prize to the festival’s Best British Film. Previous winners include “Somers Town,” “Control” and “My Summer of Love.”
