Matt Palmer’s Highlands-set thriller Calibre has garnered five BAFTA Scotland nominations.

The film’s three stars took all three spots in the best film actor category, for Screen Stars of Tomorrow Jack Lowden (2014) and Martin McCann (2007), as well as for Tony Curran. Palmer has also been nominated for best fiction director, and best writer for film/television. However the film missed out on a best feature film nomination.

Full list of nominations below

Lowden and McCann play childhood friends who find themselves backed into a corner by locals when tragedy befalls their hunting trip to a remote part of Scotland.

Calibre won the Michael Powell award for best British feature film at the Edinburgh International Film Festival in June. It was released globally on Netflix the following day (June 29).

BAFTA Scotland rewards the best talent in film, TV and games produced in Scotland over the last year. Eligible films must have a “strong Scottish connection”, according to a BAFTA Scotland spokesperson. This means they can be funded, produced, co-produced and/or shot in Scotland. Scottish individuals in non-Scottish films are also eligible.

The best film actress nominees are Ella Hunt for Anna And The Apocalypse, Shauna Macdonald for White Chamber and Siân Phillips for Voyageuse.

Last month Hunt was named Screen and FrightFest’s Genre Rising Star for her role in John McPhail’s zombie Christmas musical.

Anna And The Apocalypse has also been nominated for best feature film, alongside Felipe Bustos Sierra’s documentary Nae Pasaran and Karen Gillan’s directorial debut The Party’s Just Beginning.

The BAFTA Scotland awards take place on November 4 in Glasgow. Last year’s awards saw Danny Boyle’s T2 Trainspotting take three prizes - best film, best director and best film actor for Ewen Bremner.
