Earning impressive reviews upon its release in the states in 2012, the film has nothced up a long list of accolades on the festival circuit in the past year, including the Best Debut award at last years Galway Film Fleadh and the coveted Audience award at the SXSW Film Festival 2012.

Full Sound post production for Citadel was carried out here at Screen Scene and at Ardmore Sound, earning the sound team a well deserved IFTA for Sound Film/Drama at this years awards ceremony!

Citadel was produced by Katie Holly for Blinder Films and Brian Coffey for Sigma Films with funding from Bord Scannán na hÉireann/the Irish Film Board and Creative Scotland.
