Citadel news

It's been a busy summer for Citadel and its director Ciarán Foy. The film was very well received at the Galway Film Fleadh in mid July (where it had its Irish premiere - on Friday the 13th!!!) and shared the Best Irish First Feature award with Alan Brennan's Earthbound. The week before Galway, it received its European premiere in the Neuchâtel International Fantastic Film Festival in Switzerland and was awarded the H. R. Giger Award for the Best Fantastic Feature Film, the Silver Méliès award for the Best European Fantastic Feature Film and received a special mention from the Mad Movies Jury (it says here on the NIFF awards web page.). After Galway, Ciarán & co. headed to the 16th Puchon International Fantastic Film Festival aka PiFan in South Korea for Citadel's Asian premiere where it won the best director and best actor awards - congratulations to Ciarán & Aneurin Barnard. After Puchon, it was straight to Canada where  the film was shown to full houses and received great reviews during the Montreal Fantasia International Film Festival. It has been selected to be shown in the 56th BFI London Film Festival on the 19th & 21st of October next - details here.

Finally, the film will be on general release in the US from October 19th - exciting times!
