British film scoops Festival award

Calibre, the debut feature of British filmmaker Matt Palmer, has scooped the top award at this year’s Edinburgh International Film Festival.

The 72nd celebration of film closes on Sunday after screening more than 120 new features.

Calibre, starring Jack Lowden and Martin Mccann, took the Michael Powell Award for best British film.

It sees their characters head to an isolated village in the Highlands for a weekend hunting trip that turns into a struggle for survival.
