British-Egyptian actor Amir El-Masry won the Best Actor award in a feature-length film at the BAFTA Scotland for his role in the 2020 film titled Limbo.
The film was also named best feature film, best film writer, and best fiction director.
Directed by British filmmaker Ben Sharrock, the movie features El-Masry as a Syrian asylum-seeker who finds himself living on a small Scottish island.
Limbo tells the story of Omar, who is a promising young musician. Separated from his Syrian family, he is stuck on a remote Scottish island awaiting the fate of his asylum request.
El-Masry took to Instagram to share a clip of the announcement. “Still can’t quite believe — major congratulations to the whole team,” he wrote. “To our amazing producer Irune Gurtubai and our maestro Ben Sharrock. Thank you for bringing me on this journey with you. To the whole cast and crew who worked tirelessly every day to make this film, thank you.”
