Film4 were delighted to pick up four Awards for THE BANSHEES OF INISHERIN at last night’s 2023 EE BAFTA Film Awards, including Outstanding British Film, marking another hugely successful Awards run for the film commissioning arm of Channel 4.
Film4-backed THE BANSHEES OF INISHERIN won four BAFTAs: Outstanding British Film; Original Screenplay; Supporting Actor for Barry Keoghan and Supporting Actress for Kerry Condon.
Ollie Madden and Daniel Battsek, Director and Chairman of Film4, commented: “It is thrilling to see The Banshees of Inisherin take home these awards. On behalf of the whole team at Film4, we congratulate Martin McDonagh, Graham Broadbent, Pete Czernin, Barry Keoghan and Kerry Condon on their wins and our deepest gratitude goes out to BAFTA members for their recognition. We are beyond proud to have backed this film and to see BAFTA’s appreciation is the icing on the cake.”
BANSHEES marks the fourth collaboration between Martin McDonagh and Film4, who supported his short film SIX SHOOTER (2004), and then backed his next three features IN BRUGES, SEVEN PSYCHOPATHS and the BAFTA and Academy Award-winning THREE BILLBOARDS OUTSIDE EBBING, MISSOURI.
