Corbijn feature takes ‘Control’ of Edinburgh

Anton Corbijn's Control picked up fest prizes for best British feature and best perf by actor (newbie actor Sam Riley). The coveted Audience Award award went to another Brit/directorial debut with Paul Taylor's documentary film “We Are Together” winning for its portrait of an AIDS orphanage in South Africa.
