After a whirlwind week of movies where 145 feature films were shown, including 100 premieres, the grand jury prizes were handed out at the SXSW film festival Tuesday. The Narrative Feature award was given to Krisha, a Thanksgiving-set family drama from writer-director-star Trey Edward Shults. The Documentary Grand Jury prize went to Peace Officer, Scott Christopherson and Brad Barber’s film about a former Utah sheriff reflecting on the SWAT team he established that led to tragic circumstances later.

The awards ceremony was hosted by SNL’s Vanessa Bayer, who also features in Judd Apatow and Amy Schumer’s Trainwreck which got a pre-finished screening at the festival.
