The Siege Of Paradise wins Best Cinematography in an Irish Film at @galwayfilm ☘️🙌 @lukasgut_dop 🤴🇨🇭❤️

Huge thank you to the festival for this recognition of @lukasgut_dop’s incredible work and effort on our film- along with the crew who were extremely supportive at every step of the way.

This was a very demanding and physically exhausting film to make at many times; 35c+ heat, endless steps and hills, shooting in intense crowds - with 50 shoot days over 4 consecutive months. It was also one of the most enjoyable and rewarding experiences of my life.

Huge thanks to our team in Italy (@lukasgut_dop @stevebattle , @alessiocassaro, The Great Alberto, Danilo, @jumpcut_2011 @selin_path @simonecargnoni), our fantastic producers in Dublin @venomfilms @andrewfreedman @kenwardrop @jessie_hayden and our great Swiss co-producers at @dynamic.frame @philippritler @rollingshutterframes

Thanks to @screenireland @bbc @arte.tv @metfilm_sales @eurimagescoe and all our funders
