The Power Of The Dog has enjoyed remarkable success at this year's OFCS Awards, winning in a total of nine categories including Best Picture, Best Director and three of the acting categories. Denis Villeneuve's Dune, meanwhile, picked up a series of technical awards.

"The selection of winners this year shows that even during a difficult period around the world, film lovers continue to look for good stories, be it in the cinema or at home," said Richard Gray of the organisation's governing committee.
