CHRISTMAS ALTERNATIVES
Less than 50% of the world celebrates Christmas today, we wish our friends who do, a happy Christmas, and all those who don't, a peaceful and joyful Sunday.
Delighted that our @BigmacTheKing has been chosen for Alternative Honours List of The Sunday Times
@YoungPlatoFilm wins 12th international award - Karama Feather Award for Best Feature Documentary at Karama Film Fest in Jordan. Well done to Neasa and @DeclanMcGra Huge thanks to all those who keep up the sharing and support our @BAFTA campaign @screenireland@DonaldClarke63
Reaching for the stars? Well, let's reach for the Sky first. @HolyCrossBoys headmaster @BigmacTheKing made his debut on @SkyNews on Wed am. Watch it here. Great to get such a high-profile slot to help our @BAFTA campaign. Thank you @arpublicity@ScreenIreland Part 1/of2 clips
Well, Academy just announced and we didn't make the Oscar shortlist for Best Feature Doc. Sad, we know, but a huge amount of love and support got us to being called "an Oscar contender" - that's a huge achievement :) Thank you all. And there's still the BAFTAs - so keep the faith
One person, critic, writer, musician, tv presenter Mark Kermode @KermodeMovie played a huge part in helping spread the message of @youngplato For a very good reason, he has now left Twitter but his words about our film live on. Thanks Mark
Alfie, one of the 'stars' of Young Plato, looking forward to walking down the red carpet at the Oscars....with one of his favourite actors - who would that be now?
"Young Plato comes last, alphabetically, on the list of documentaries qualified for Oscar consideration this year. But it may come in first IN THE HEARTS of many Documentary Branch voters as they cast their ballots"

And our toes (crossed) :) A 5-to-1 chance for @YoungPlatoFilm tonight @BIFA_film Not bad odds. Next weekend a bit tighter 10-to-1 @IDAorg awards in LA. But we believe in our film and the powerful message it has for the world. Hearing rumblings about our chances @TheAcademy@BAFTA
We're keeping our fingers crossed for #IrishFilm and nominees across the board at the @BIFA_film awards tonight. 🤞
From emotive, powerful drama in God's Creatures and It Is In Us All to inspirational documentaries like Nothing Compares and Young Plato.

'Much Ado About Dying' IDFA Review: Simon Chambers films his Shakespeare-loving uncle's final years and "in its refreshingly frank look at the end of life [the film] becomes a thought-provoking study of what it means to live" says @NikkiBaughan#IDFA2022bit.ly/3TuaI0n
