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.
