Helsinki International Film Festival scores new audience record.
Pawel Pawlikowski’s Ida has won the audience award at the 27th Helsinki International Film Festival - Love & Anarchy (Sept 18-28).
The film centres on a young novitiate nun in 1960s Poland who is on the verge of taking her vows when she discovers a dark family secret dating back to the years of the Nazi occupation.

Other films to win praise from the audience included opening film Whiplash and the closer Boyhood as well as 20 000 Days on Earth, The Zero Theorem, Of Horses and Men, The Mafia Only Kills in Summer, The Tribe, The Quiet Roar...
