Biography
Iain has worked with Oscar winners Danny Boyle, James Gay-Rees and Hans Zimmer as well as Hollywood powerhouse Doug Liman. He regularly collaborates with writer/director Sally El Hosaini. Their first short film won a Welsh BAFTA and their first feature My Brother the Devil (2012) was one of the most acclaimed films of 2013, winning major awards at Sundance, Berlin and BFI London Film Festivals among others. It was released in cinemas internationally including in 12 US cities.
“One of the film’s chief assets is its gorgeous look, aided immeasurably by Iain Kitching’s lean editing. Slick, muscular, entertaining and emotionally satisfying.” – The Hollywood Reporter on My Brother the Devil (2012).
Iain collaborated again with Sally on The Swimmers (2022), for which he was specifically nominated for a British Film Editors Cut Above Award for Best Edited British Drama, and the film was overall nominated for Outstanding British Film of the Year at the 2023 BAFTAs. The film debuted at Toronto International Film Festival 2022 and was again screened as a Gala Presentation at the BFI London Film Festival.
