FILM IRISH CHAIRMAN’S NOTE

I am greatly honoured to have been appointed Chairman of Bord Scannán na hÉireann/the Irish Film Board (IFB) and am fully committed to continuing the great work of my predecessors.

The IFB has been supporting Irish stories told through film, television, animation and documentary for twenty years. These stories are an integral part of Irish culture, and through the medium of cinema, with its massive global reach and popularity — and nowadays through online and broadcast media as well — they can travel the globe and be shared with more people than ever before. The IFB will continue to invest in their journey every step of the way.

At home, the film, television and animation industry generates substantial revenue for the economy, and it shows great potential for growth and job creation in the future.

As the development agency for this industry, the IFB’s investment in Irish creative talent presents an excellent return to Ireland, both culturally and economically. I look forward to helping build on this Irish success story.

42 JULIE 43 large country estate in Ireland, 1890. Over the course of one midsummer night, a A brutal, flirtatious power struggle takes place between Julie, a young aristocratic woman, and John, her father’s valet. In an atmosphere of revelry and loosened social constraints, Julie and John dance, drink, charm and manipulate each other. She is haughty but longing for abasement, he is both polished and coarse; they are held together by mutual loathing and attraction. Their escape comes in one final act that is as sublime and horrific as anything in Greek tragedy.

It is neither a psychological nor a philosophical study; instead, using everyday portraits of men, and told from their perspectives, it examines how the bond with their mothers helps form their characters and influences their lives. Set in the state of Oklahoma, the film features characters from different walks of life, from cowboys to lawyers and nurses to preachers. It is filled with humour and heart, but above all honesty and respect for this unique bond.
