The latest film by Duncan Jones, the son of David Bowie, has won best feature at the Edinburgh film festival.

Moon tells the story of astronaut Sam Bell as he carries out a three-year mission on the Moon.

The sci-fi was praised by the festival's judges for its "singular vision... and emotional complexity".

Bell is played by actor Robin Chalk, while Matt Berry plays the character Overmeyers.

Jones' only other movie was the short-film Whistle, which was released in 2002.
