My Old School at the Scottish BAFTAs

Lodged by Ross Greer (Scottish Green Party) Standard Motion 15 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament congratulates Jono McLeod on winning the Director Factual award at the 2023 BAFTA Scotland Awards for his film, My Old School; notes that My Old School, which stars Alan Cumming, documents the actions of Brian McKinnon, who, at the age of 32, returned to his former school of Bearsden Academy impersonating a 16-year-old Canadian boy under the name Brandon Lee, and considers My Old School to be an excellent example of the growing success of Scotland's screen sector, having been produced in partnership with Screen Scotland and screened at the Glasgow Film Festival.
