Irish feature film ‘Citadel’ and Brendan O’Carroll’s hit TV show ‘Mrs Bown’s Boys’ have both been nominated for Scottish BAFTA Awards.
Irish writer and director Ciaran Foy’s ‘Citadel’ is up for Best Feature Film and Best Actor/Actress for James Cosmo.
O’Carroll’s ‘Mrs Bown’s Boys’ has been nominated in the Comedy Entertainment Programme category at the Scottish BAFTAs. The BBC series was produced by BBC Scotland, BOCPIX and RTÉ.
Psychological horror ‘Citadel’ was co-produced by Scotland’s Sigma Films and Ireland’s Blinder Films. It received funding from the Irish Film Board and Creative Scotland.
‘Citadel’ stars Aneurin Barnard and Cosmo as an agoraphobic father who teams up with a renegade priest to save his daughter from the clutches of a gang of twisted feral children.
The BAFTA nominations follows ‘Citadel’s’ success at the Galway Film Fleadh where it picked up the Best First Feature prize and SXSW where it picked up an Audience Award earlier this year.
The Scottish BAFTA Awards will take place on November 18.
