film profile], which premiered at the BFI London International Film Festival this year.
The film’s lead, Joanne Froggatt, recently received a Most Promising Newcomer BIFA (British Independent Film Award) (see news). She plays a servicewoman in the British Army, struggling to adjust to life back home, after a tough tour of duty in Iraq.
Curzon Artificial Eye, the National Film and Television School and BBC Films financed the film, which is produced by BAFTA-nominated Michelle Eastwood (Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll [+see also:

High Point’s Carey Fitzgerald said, “As articulate and powerful a film as you’re likely to see coming out of the UK about war and its aftermath this year. The combination of Joanne Froggatt’s intense, compelling performance and Brian Welsh’s talent as writer and director definitely make In Our Name worth looking out for.”
Curzon Artificial Eye CEO Philip Knatchbull said, “In Our Name is a highly topical, superbly acted, accomplished debut, and we are delighted to be working with High Point to give the film the international audience it deserves.”
Curzon Artificial Eye will release the film in the UK on December 10 and High Point will launch international sales at Berlin in February 2011.
