“Tangerine,’’ Sean Baker’s micro-budgeted Sundance darling about a pair of transgender prostitutes, earned three awards at the Boston-based, nonprofit Chlotrudis Society for Independent Film’s 22nd annual awards ceremony on Sunday.

Producer Darren Dean, cinematographer Radium Cheung, and actress Mickey O’Hagan were all on hand at Cambridge’s Brattle Theatre to accept “Trudies’’ for, respectively, best use of music in a film, best cinematography, and best ensemble. The trio also joined the Brattle Film Foundation’s creative director, Ned Hinkle, for a public conversation about filmmaking technique.

Karidja Toure won best actress for French coming-of-age drama “Girlhood,’’ while best actor and best supporting actress went to “James White’’ stars Christopher Abbott and Cynthia Nixon, respectively. Michael Shannon, who’s in next week’s “Midnight Special,’’ took home the best supporting actor prize for indie “99 Homes,’’ and “Carol’’ helmer Todd Haynes, snubbed by the Oscars this year, was named best director. And futuristic indie “Advantageous’’ received the buried treasure prize, given to an overlooked film that earned less than $250,000 at the box office.
