1 Chair’s Note 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.

40 41 Aithrí/Penance —

Unequivocal about the need for violence to force Britain out of Ireland, Father Eoin O’Donnell seals the fate of the young and impressionable Antaine by convincing him to fight in the 1916 Rising. Fifty years later, the reappearance of the now- experienced gunman Antaine in a divided Derry throws Father O’Donnell into turmoil. Once allies, the pair are now placed on opposite sides of the same agenda.

Agus é ar an intinn go bhfuil gá le foréigean chun lucht na Breataine a dhíbir as Éirinn, tá an tAthair Eoin Ó Dónaill freagrach as cinniúint Antaine, fear óg soghonta, tar éis dó é a spreagadh chun troda in Éirí Amach 1916.

Bhí siad d’aontaobh tráth, ach anois tá siad ar dhá thaobh an scéil.

Harry Hambridge is down on his luck and living in London. In one day, he loses his job, his father and his beloved pet hamster, Mouse. On returning home to bury his father, he finds a statement from his grandfather, claiming that it was he who raised the flag over the GPO during the 1916 Easter Rising, and that the flag now hangs upside-down in an army barracks in England. Too long used to the mockery of his life, he sets out with his motley crew to take back the flag and maybe find his passion for life along the way.

Teenager Mary dreams of writing, but has yet to find inspiration. When she meets poet Percy Shelley, it is love at first sight. But Percy has his secrets, he is married with a child. Setting up home together, Mary soon becomes pregnant with Percy’s child, a daughter who tragically dies. Ostracised by polite society and grieving for their child, they escape from London and Percy introduces Mary to Lord Byron at his house in Lake Geneva. On a stormy night, Byron suggests they all write a ghost story. Mary gives birth to Frankenstein’s Monster. It is brilliant, but women don’t write books, and publishers won’t print them.
