Hair's N O Te Production Catalogue Production 1 Chair’s Note Chair’s Indelibly woven into the rich cultural heritage of the nation, the arts in their entirety make Ireland a better place to live. The Irish film, animation and TV industry forms a central part of the creative industries in Ireland. One only has to look back at the sense of pride throughout the country at Ireland’s Academy Awards® success this year to see how integral film has become to our nation’s cultural identity. Film offers us audiovisual narratives, not only ones that mirror our lives and tell our past and present stories, but also narratives that look to new and exciting imaginings and futures. But it is not just the contribution of film to our intellectual, social and cultural life that is important; there are huge employment opportunities in the industries — opportunities for talented people in film, television, animation, and creative computer games. This year we launched our five-year strategy ‘Building on Success’ — detailing our ambitious vision and plans for the role of Bord Scannán na hÉireann/the Irish Film Board (IFB) within the thriving Irish film, animation and TV industry. We also welcomed a much-needed increase in funding for 2017 to meet the need to support and develop the next generation of storytellers and filmmakers. However, we remain ambitious for the sector and we will continue to call for restoration of funding to pre-recession levels. The IFB is proud to continue supporting Irish creative talent in the film, animation and TV industry and we remain focused on ensuring this support reflects our goals in achieving gender equality and diversity in the coming years. The term of the current Board of the IFB ends in January 2017 and I would like to pay tribute to the tremendous hard work and commitment of the Board over the last four years. It has been my honour to serve as Chair of the Board and to work with the IFB staff and the film industry on many great initiatives.

    TOM VAUGHAN LAWLOR BARRY WARD MARTIN MCCANN DIRECTED BY STEPHEN BURKE 2017 / 93 MIN / IRELAND / ENGLISH / PRISON THRILLER Sales Contact: 173 Richardson Street, Brooklyn, NY 11222 USA Office: +1.718.312.8210 Fax: +1.718.362.4865 Email: [email protected] Web: www.visitfilms.com LOGLINE Based on the true story of the 1983 mass break-out of 38 prisoners from the HMP Maze high security prison, Maze is a gripping prison break film that follows the relationship between two men on oppo- site sides of the prison bars. SYNOPSIS Maze charts how inmate Larry Marley, played by Tom Vaughan-Lawlor (Love / Hate), becomes chief architect of the largest prison escape in Europe since World War II – an escape which he plans but does not go on himself. Up against him is the most state-of-the-art and secure prison in the whole of Europe - a prison within a prison. While scheming his way towards pulling off this feat, Larry comes into close contact with prison warder Gordon Close, played by Barry Ward (Jimmy’s Hall). Larry and Gordon’s complex journey begins with cautious, chess-like moves. Initially, Gordon holds all the power in their relationship and rejects all of Larry’s attempts at establishing a friendship be- tween them. Bit by bit, Larry wears down Gordon’s defenses, maneuvering himself into a position of trust. As each man begins to engage with the other as an equal, the barrier between prisoner and warder has been broken. During all this time, however, Larry has been scheming behind Gordon’s back, gleaning as much information as he can and working with other prisoners in a separate block, trying to engineer their escape.

To reach those necessary goals, we strategically use an array of interconnected channels and platforms to transform not only the media landscape but also a cul- ture in which women’s and girls’ voices, stories, experiences, and images are nei- ther suffciently amplifed nor placed on par with the voices, stories, experiences, and images of men and boys. Our strategic tools include monitoring the media; commissioning and conducting research; and undertaking other special initiatives to spotlight gender and racial bias in news coverage, entertainment flm and television, social media, and other key sectors. Our publications include the book “Unspinning the Spin: The Women’s Media Center Guide to Fair and Accurate Language”; “The Women’s Media Center’s Media Guide to Gender Neutral Coverage of Women Candidates + Politicians”; “The Women’s Media Center Media Guide to Covering Reproductive Issues”; “WMC Media Watch: The Gender Gap in Coverage of Reproductive Issues”; “Writing Rape: How U.S. Media Cover Campus Rape and Sexual Assault”; “WMC Investigation: 10-Year Review of Gender & Emmy Nominations”; and the Women’s Media Center’s annual WMC Status of Women in the U.S.

  • Creative Encounters Between Ireland and Latin America
    Irish Migration Studies in Latin America 9:1 2018 Conscience as Compass: Creative Encounters between Ireland and Latin America Caoilfhionn Ní Bheacháin1 and Angus Mitchell2 Such reminders of our past links are important. They provide a well of potent memories: memories of joint struggles and aspirations, of hopes shared and dreams waiting to be taken up again – a well from which we can draw as we seek to respond to the challenges of our own times. Indeed, I believe that the best part of our past lies in those emancipatory promises whose trajectory was interrupted, but which continue to offer themselves to our present, begging to be realised. The sediment of those possibilities imagined, but yet to be realised, is what remains after the water of memory has been drawn. (Higgins 2017) In 2017, more than one hundred years after the Easter Rising, President Michael D. Higgins travelled to Latin America on a state visit. His journey recalled, literally and symbolically, the journeys of the many other Irishmen and women who made a similar crossing over the last two centuries. In his speech, quoted above and included in full in this special issue, President Higgins alludes to the shared memories and joint struggles of the peoples of Ireland and Latin America. This issue of Irish Migration Studies in Latin America considers the power of shared memories and the importance of ethical solidarity in the lives and creative work of activists, artists and intellectuals – individuals drawing on the healing potential and emancipatory promise of this “well of potent memories”. The centenary of the 1916 Rising has provided an opportunity to reflect on the unfulfilled promise of that revolutionary moment and on the trajectory of the Irish state since its foundation.
