Tributes have been paid to a filmmaker from Northern Ireland who has died after a long battle with illness.
Derry man Tom Collins, who had been producing and directing award-winning feature films and documentaries since Hush-a-Bye Baby in 1988, died peacefully after being diagnosed with cancer.
During his career he had the unprecedented distinction of being twice nominated as Ireland's Entry for Best Foreign Language Film at The Academy Awards for his films Kings and The Gift and An Bronntanas in 2014.
