“Gay re-education” comedy-drama The Miseducation of Cameron Post has won the grand jury prize at the Sundance film festival, the most influential award on the US independent circuit.
The directing prize for US documentary went to Alexandria Bombach for On Her Shoulders, a film about Yazidi activist (and former prisoner of Isis) Nadia Murad.
The grand jury prize is a reliable marker of future potential, with recent winners including Whiplash, Fruitvale Station and Beasts of the Southern Wild.
The Sundance film festival finished on Sunday in Park City, Utah.
