E invece, mai come ora, il cinema irlandese si riscopre in fermento e pieno di ta- lenti, una scena in totale espansione con una lunga serie di nomi assolutamente da tenere d’occhio. Un esempio: il formidabile regista Lenny Abrahamson – che dopo Frank è al lavo- ro su Stanza, letto, armadio, specchio dal libro di Emma Donoghue – ma anche John Carney – autore di Once e Tutto può cambiare – senza di- menticare attori rivelazione come Robert Shee- han, Evanna Lynch, Colin O’Donoghue, Andrew Scott – che sarà in 007 Spectre – e soprattutto Domhnall Gleeson, che dopo UU nn bb r r oo k k e e nn ve- dremo in EE xx __ MMaa cc hh i inn a e, addirittura, in Star Wars: Episodio VII – Il Risveglio della Forza. Ma ol- tre ai nomi, quasi tutti ormai esportati, in Irlan- da sembra proprio essersi risvegliata la scena, capace di produrre piccole grandi perle, spesso di difficile esportazione ma assolutamente da ripescare. .CIAKMAGAZINE.EU In cima alla lista – finalmente in uscita an- che in Italia, a maggio – c’è CC aa l lvv aa r r yy (qui il trai- ler (%20https://www.youtube.com /watch?v=LGM5rq_vX4U)) di John Michael McDonagh, un film potentissimo costruito su quello che, al momento, è senza dubbio il più grande attore irlandese, il monumentale Bren- dan Gleeson, qui nei panni di un prete, Padre James Lavelle, affiancato da un altro conterra- neo celebre: Chris O’Dowd, visto in Thor 2 e St.Vincent. A seguire, oltre a recuperare Frank per chi non l’ha visto, ecco RR uu nn && J Juu mmpp (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7dBk- wWdqIg), diretto dalla regista candidata all’Oscar, Steph Green, con Will Forte psichia- tra americano in trasferta nella contea di Wic- klow per a#rontare i problemi di un uomo, col- pito da infarto e incapace di tornare quello di un tempo. E mentre arriva in Dvd la divertente commedia matrimoniale The Stag – Se sopravvi- vo mi sposo di John Butler con Andrew Scott, at- tenzione a Brendan Muldowney, altro ben nome che con il suo LLoovvee EEtteerrnnaal l (www.you- tube.com/watch?v=BEkMj4cqFXk) – tratto da In Love With The Dead dello scrittore giapponese Kei Ôishi – ha sorpreso critica e pubblico. 1 di 5 03/03/15 14:37 NUOVO CINEMA IRLANDA: LA RINASCITA - ciak http://www.ciakmagazine.eu/2015/03/02/nuovo-cinema-irland... In tutto questo, un capitolo a parte però lo merita Barry Keoghan: nato a Dublino, rivela- to nel 2010 dalla magnifica serie tv della RTÉ, LLoovvee//HHaat tee, l’anno scorso l’attore ha girato il toc- cante e ancora inedito in Italia ’71 a fianco di Jack O’Connell – il protagonista di Unbroken – storia di un soldato inglese perso a Belfast du- rante gli scontri dei Troubles nel 1971. La sua prova nel film diretto da Yann Demange è stata tale che gli è valsa la chiamata di un altro nor- dirlandese eccellente, Michael Fassbender, che lo ha voluto nel suo nuovo TT rr ee ss pp aa ss ss AA gg aa i inn ss t t UU ss , in cui ha sul set ha ritrovato proprio Brendan Gleeson. Diretta da Adam Smith, la pellicola, che racconta la saga di una famiglia di fuorilegge, avrà anche una colonna sonora d’ec- cezione firmata dai Chemical Brothers. Ma la li- sta di film del rinnovato irish pride non finisce certo qui e annovera anche interessanti docu- mentari come HHiillll SSttrreeeett – sulla scena skate di Dublino (hillstreetdocumentary.com) – e cartoon come lo splendido SS oo nn gg oo f f t t hh ee SS ee aa di Tomm Moore, regista di Newry e già a quota due nomination all’Oscar. Per chi vuole appro- fondire l’argomento, appuntamento alla Casa del Cinema di Roma, all’IrishFilmFesta, dal 26 al 29 marzo (www.irishfilmfesta.org) dove, tra le altre cose, verranno anche proiettati quin- dici cortometraggi.

With the support of the IFB, the hard work and creative endeavours of Irish talent in front and behind the camera has been rewarded with both local and international recognition and awards. As the development agency for film, television and animation in Ireland, the IFB is committed to supporting Irish talent, creativity and enterprise. In conjunction with the Irish Government’s continued support for the industry with the advent of the new film and television tax credit in 2015, the Board are focused on the future evolution of Board Scannán na hÉireann/the Irish Film Board. With this in mind, we have begun the consultation process on a new Five Year Strategic Plan for the agency, which will focus on the future goals for the agency itself, the development of the industry overall and the outcomes the IFB aims to deliver for Irish creative talent, Irish and international audiences and the Irish digital economy. With the publication of the new strategy document in 2015, we hope to ensure that the IFB continues to provide a strong foundation for the making of film, television and animation in Ireland.

    1 Chair’s Note Chair’s We want to ensure that our commitment to gender equality, diversity and inclusion goes further than our funding decisions and is fully visible across the whole of the screen content production sector. We believe there is a responsibility on those who are in receipt of public funding from Screen Ireland to ensure gender equality, diversity and inclusion are at at the heart of their productions. We remain committed to the principle of dignity in the workplace, so that every member of the industry can work without fear of intimidation, which is crucial to building the future of the Irish film and television sector.

During the long hot summer of 1948, he is called to a patient at Hundreds Hall, where his mother once worked. The Hall has been home to the Ayres family for more than two centuries. But it is now in decline and its inhabitants - mother, son and daughter - are haunted by something more ominous than a dying way of life.

    1 Chair’s Note Chair’s Screen International handpicking Irish filmmakers to watch in the coming years. However, it’s not just this critical acclaim we’re proud of, as what really struck us was how our films resonated so deeply with audiences, offering glimpses of other worlds or forgotten traditions — perfectly encapsulated by Emer Reynolds’ NASA Space Voyager feature documentary, The Farthest and Pat Collins’ searing monochromatic character portrait, Song of Granite. In 2017, we also welcomed a new board who will continue to provide strong and stable leadership for the sector. Achieving the goals laid out in our Five-Year Strategy, Building on Success, remains a priority. At the Galway Film Fleadh, we announced a series of initiatives to incentivise and encourage female talent to apply for funding, as we continue to aim for 50/50 gender parity across all our schemes. Investing in Irish talent, creativity and enterprise is a key remit of the In a pivotal scene from John Butler’s beautiful 2017 IFB and we strive for this showcase of Irish creative coming-of-age drama, Handsome Devil, the passionate talent to be as equal and diverse as possible from school teacher, Mr Sherry (played by Andrew Scott), application stage to realisation and funding. The IFB urges his students to never speak in a borrowed voice; also affirmed our support for the victims of bullying teaching them about the power of vocalising their and sexual harassment and outlined our intolerance of most authentic selves.

  • ROOM Production Notes.Pdf
    TABLE OF CONTENTS SYNOPSIS 3 ABOUT THE FILM 5 ABOUT THE CAST 27 ABOUT THE FILMMAKERS 33 CREDITS 41 2 SYNOPSIS oth highly suspenseful and deeply emotional, ROOM is a unique and touching exploration of the boundless love between a mother and her child. After 5-year- Bold Jack and his Ma escape from the enclosed surroundings that Jack has known his entire life, the boy makes a thrilling discovery: the outside world. As he experiences all the joy, excitement, and fear that this new adventure brings, he holds tight to the one thing that matters most of all—his special bond with his loving and devoted Ma. Full Synopsis ROOM tells the extraordinary story of Jack (Jacob Tremblay in a breakout performance), a spirited 5-year-old who is looked after by his loving and devoted Ma (Brie Larson, SHORT TERM 12, TRAINWRECK). Like any good mother, Ma dedicates herself to keeping Jack happy and safe, nurturing him with warmth and love and doing typical things like playing games and telling stories. Their life, however, is anything but typical—they are trapped—confined to a windowless, 10-by-10-foot space, which Ma has euphemistically named “Room.” Ma has created a whole universe for Jack within Room, and she will stop at nothing to ensure that, even in this treacherous environment, Jack is able to live a complete and fulfilling life. But as Jack’s curiosity about their situation grows, and Ma’s resilience reaches its breaking point, they enact a risky plan to escape, ultimately bringing them face-to-face with what may turn out to be the scariest thing yet: the real world.
