This year's Jameson Dublin Film Festival is drawing to a close this evening. Audiences are currently watching the ever-popular Surprise Film in the Savoy - named on Twitter as Good Kill, which stars as Ethan Hawke as a drone pilot - and Julie Andrews will be at the cinema later this evening for a gala screening of The Sound of Music to close out JDIFF 2015.

While we'll have to wait a little longer to find out the audience's choice for their favourite film, last night the Dublin Film Critics' Circle named their best films from this year's festival. 

The big Irish winners were Gerard Barrett's drama Glassland - starring Jack Reynor and Toni Collette - and cinematographer Piers McGrail for his work on Let Us Prey, Glassland and The Canal.
