IRISH language film An Cailín Ciúin and RTÉ crime-drama KIN were among the big winners at the Irish Film and Television Academy (IFTA) film and drama awards.
The best of Irish film and drama were celebrated on Saturday during the virtual awards bash with An Cailín Ciúin picking up eight accolades including best film - the first time an Irish-language feature has taken the top honour.

The movie also won awards for cinematography (Kate McCullough), editing (John Murphy), production design (Emma Lowney) and original music (Stephen Rennicks).
