THE very best in film, television and games produced in Scotland during the last year has been celebrated by the British Academy of Film and Television Arts.
And among the awards, the Outstanding Contribution to Craft one went to Christine Cant, described as a “renowned hair and make-up artist with over 35 years in the industry”.
Says BAFTA Scotland: “Cant’s award was one of two special recognitions given on the evening, with Sixteen Films, the production company formed by director Ken Loach, producer Rebecca O’Brien and writer Paul Laverty, also being honoured for its Outstanding Contribution to Film.
“Veteran broadcaster, Kirsty Wark, presented Christine with her award along with video tributes from her colleagues, including Noel Fielding, Christine Blundell and Jennifer Saunders, while Martin Compston and Gary Lewis presented O’Brien and Laverty with their prestigious award, alongside video messages from Paul Brannigan, William Ruane and Cillian Murphy.”
