Oscar-nominated film has Kiwi connection
Brooklyn, the film produced by New Zealand-born Finola Dwyer, has scored three Academy Award nominations.
It's in the running for best picture, star Saoirse Ronan is nominated for best actress and Nick Hornby is up for best adapted screenplay.
London-based Dwyer left New Zealand in the 1990s and her work includes the Beatles feature Backbeat and the Oscar-nominated An Education.
She began her career as an editor at New Zealand's National Film Unit.
During interviews to promote Brooklyn, Dwyer has talked about how she secured the rights for the film of Colm Toibin's novel, which is about an Irish woman who goes to America in 1951, and how she considers the project to be her most personal yet.
Dwyer's mother left Dublin in 1951 and went to New Zealand with her father.
