JDIFF is over, after many films and some fun jury time for yours truly. And as the guests wend their way back to their starry lives and the film drives and reels head homewards, its time to take a look at who won what.

We've already written about the movies which took home prizes from the Dublin Film Critics Circle (yay for Cliff Curtis in The Dark Horse!) and now its time to see what audiences enjoyed most. Each year, everyone who attends a film gets the chance to vote at the end. Those boxes full of votes are tallied at the end of the festival and the results are in.And the audience award for 2015 goes to - The Salt of the Earth!This stunning-looking documentary comes from director Wim Wenders and is all about an amazing photographer calledSebastião Salgado. The film charts his work over decades and also gives us a glimpse at the man himself, with the help of fascinating interviews and the involvement of Salgado's own son. Here's the trailer.
