Win The BAFTA-Nominated, Gay-Themed Film, God’s Own Country On Blu-ray!

January 28, 2018 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

God’s Own Country has gained a lot of fans since its much-praised debut at last year’s Sundance Film Festival. Over the past 12 months it’s won numerous awards, including the prestigious Best British Independent Film at the British Independent Film Awards. It’s also nominated for Outstanding British Film of the Year at the upcoming BAFTA Film Awards, while the film’s lead actor, Josh O’Connor, is up for the EE BAFTA Rising Star gong.

God’s Own Country is releasing on Blu-ray and DVD in the UK from 29th January, and to celebrate we’ve teamed up with Lionsgate and Picturehouse Entertainment to give away five copies of the film on Blu-ray.

The film is a contemporary tale of self-discovery and emotional-awakening set on the sheep farming hills of rural England. Johnny Saxby (Josh O’Connor; The Riot Club, The Durrells) works long hours on his family’s remote farm in the north of England. He numbs the daily frustration of his lonely existence with nightly binge-drinking at the local pub and casual sex. But when a handsome Romanian migrant worker (Alec Secareanu) arrives to take up temporary work on the family farm, Johnny suddenly finds himself having to deal with emotions he has never felt before. As they begin working closely together during lambing season, an intense relationship starts to form which could change Johnny’s life forever.

For your chance to win God’s Own Country on Blu-ray, answer the question below and fill in your details, then press submit! The competition closes on February 11th, 2017, so get answering and good luck. [Read more…]

Gay-Themed God’s Own Country Wins Big At The British Independent Film Awards

December 11, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

It may not have won the most awards, but the gay-themed Brit flick God’s Own Country picked up the big gong at the British Independent Film Awards. It picked up four awards, including the top prize, Best British Independent Film, along with Best Actor for Josh O’Connor, Best Debut Screenwriter for Francis Lee, and Best Sound.

The movie tells the story of the growing relationship between in isolated, young Yorkshire farmer, and the Romanian worker brought in to help him during the lambing season.

Lady MacBeth picked up the most awards overall though, with five, including Best Screenplay for Alice Birch, Best Actress for Florence Pugh and Most Promising Newcomer for Naomie Ackie. Armando Iannucci’s The Death of Stalin meanwhile picked up four awards. The only category of the night open to non-UK films, Best International Independent Film, was won by Get Out.

Although God’s Own Country is seen as an outsider for nominations in the major international film awards, it’s got a brace of gongs on the film festival circuit, including at Sundance and Berlin. It will also hopefully get some love at the BAFTA FIlm Awards.
