Stars and film-makers gather for Independent Spirit

The Independent Spirit Awards which honour excellence in independent cinema were held last Saturday on Santa Monica Beach.

To qualify a film’s budget has to be less than $20m (£15m).

Director Barry Jenkins' If Beale Street Could Talk, based on a James Baldwin novel of the same name, took home the top prize.

Talking Movies’ Tristan Daley reports.
