(Ireland), which scooped eight prizes in total after winning the Generation Kplus International Jury’s Grand Prize at the Berlinale last month. US actor Chris Pine handed out the Award for Best Film. In her emotional acceptance speech, the film’s producer, Cleona Ní Chrualaoi, said: “I think this is a watershed moment for Irish-language cinema, and we're just so proud to be part of this.” Bairéad also took home the Award for Best Film Director, which was presented by Gabriel Byrne. Accepting the prize, Bairéad said: “Thank you, IFTA, for this extraordinary honour. Thanks to the Cine4 Scheme, which made our film possible, and to Screen Ireland and the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland. Thank you, guys, for believing in our quiet, little film that has a big heart.” Other accolades included Best Lead Actress for young newcomer Catherine Clinch, Best Cinematography for DoP Kate McCullough and Best Original Song for Stephen Rennicks.

. Branagh gave an acceptance speech through his editor, Úna Ní Dhonghaíle: “My homeland gave me one hell of a story to tell and has been very patient in waiting for 50 years until I could tell it. People from up and down the island have responded with such deep-hearted appreciation to a story that it seems many of us share through our very own family experiences. I am deeply grateful for this recognition, and would also like to salute my fellow nominees and their incredible work. What an honour to have been in their company. Thank you, cinema-goers of Ireland, and thank you, IFTA.”

Oscar-winning documentarian Michael Moore presented the Award for Best Feature Documentary, which went to Declan McGrath and Neasa Ní Chianáin’s Young Plato (UK/Ireland/France/Belgium) and was accepted by co-director McGrath. The feature charts the dream of headmaster Kevin McArevey and his dedicated, visionary team, illustrating how philosophy, critical thinking and pastoral care can empower and encourage children to see beyond the boundaries and limitations of their own community.

Commenting on the event, IFTA’s CEO, Áine Moriarty, stated: “Last night was a magical night of celebration for the Irish screen industry, with the wonderful Deirdre O’Kane welcoming our guests virtually from all around the world. Congratulations to all of our nominees and winners for your achievements in what has been a record-breaking year for the industry in Ireland.”
