Overview
Control, the biopic about late Joy Division singer Ian Curtis, has scooped five prizes at the British Independent Film Awards, including best film.
Trophies were also given to star Sam Riley, who worked in a warehouse until he was cast as Curtis, director Anton Corbijn, and co-star Toby Kebbell.
Control follows Curtis's rise to fame with Joy Division until his suicide in 1980, aged 23.
The black-and-white film - which features The Killers, David Bowie and New Order on the soundtrack - was shot for just £3m.
