2007 Edinburgh Film Festival Awards

2007 Edinburgh Film Festival: Aug. 15-26, 2007

 

Sam Riley in Control by Anton Corbijn

Sam Riley stars as rocker Ian Curtis in Anton Corbijn’s Control. "It’s fabulous. It’s my first movie so I had no expectations for the film," Corbijn remarked upon accepting the best film award from Stephen Frears and Kate Dickie. "I did all these things that people said I shouldn’t be doing. Shooting in black and white, having an unknown as the main character, putting my own money in. Most of these things are what people say are great." In addition to its Edinburgh win, earlier this year Control received a special mention at the Cannes Film Festival’s Golden Camera sidebar.
