New Zealand Producer Receives Academy Award Nomination for Best Picture - Brooklyn PRESS RELEASE: Friday January 15, 2016. NEW ZEALAND PRODUCER RECEIVES ACADEMY AWARD NOMINATION FOR BEST PICTURE - BROOKLYN Overnight BROOKLYN received three Academy Award nominations for: BEST PICTURE, Producers: Finola Dwyer and Amanda Posey BEST ACTRESS IN A LEADING ROLE, Saoirse Ronan BEST WRITING - ADAPTED SCREENPLAY, Nick Hornby. BROOKLYN Producer Finola Dwyer is a New Zealander, she comments: "We are so honoured to be nominated with this illustrious group of filmmakers and to be returning to the Kodak Theatre. Brooklyn has been a very personal film for me, my mother came to NZ in 1951 from Dublin, and Brooklyn is very much her story, yet it is so very universal too. This is a transformative role for the incredibly talented Saoirse Ronan, it's her first adult role and she is taking audiences by storm. We would be nowhere without Colm Toibin's beautiful novel, Nick Hornby's masterful script and John Crowley's impeccable direction." This is Finola's second Oscar nomination, she was previously nominated for AN EDUCATION. BROOKLYN starring Saoirse Ronan, Emory Cohen, Domhnall Gleeson, Jim Broadbent and Julie Walters opens in New Zealand cinemas on January 21, 2016. BROOKLYN is an Irish romantic drama film directed by John Crowley and script written by Nick Hornby, based on the novel of the same name by Colm Tóibín. The film tells the profoundly moving story of Eilis Lacey (Saoirse Ronan), a young Irish immigrant navigating her way through 1950s Brooklyn. Lured by the promise of America, Eilis departs Ireland and the comfort of her mother's home for the shores of New York City. The initial shackles of homesickness quickly diminish as a fresh romance sweeps Eilis into the intoxicating charm of love. But soon, her new vivacity is disrupted by her past, and Eilis must choose between two countries and the lives that exist within. - End .

  • Hair's N O Te
    Production Catalogue Production 1 Chair’s Note Chair’s Telling Irish stories on screen and supporting Irish creative talent telling these stories has always been a key focus of Bord Scannán na hÉireann/the Irish Film Board (IFB). Over the past year we have shown that these stories are enjoyed by audiences both at home and globally and have again proven what we believe to be the strength of Irish creative talent on screen. We are working on two major initiatives in 2016: the launch of a five year strategy for the IFB and a joint IFB/BAI Strategy on Training. We expect to publish both of these reports in the spring of 2016. They will then form the basis of future planning and development across the sector in the coming years. In 2015, the IFB acknowledged the underrepresentation of women in the Irish film industry. This is an issue which cannot be ignored. Actions are needed to address the gender inequality issue and the IFB is concerned enough to act and take a lead on this matter. We have outlined the measures we will be taking to address the problem and we are eager to implement them in 2016 and beyond. I took the role of Acting Chair of the IFB this year after the sudden passing of our esteemed Chairman Bill O’Herlihy. In his two years as Chairman of the IFB, Bill was a tireless advocate of the Irish film industry and his hands-on approach to the role was a clear indicator of his enthusiasm. We at the IFB were proud to call him a colleague and a friend and he is greatly missed.

  • A Nazi Legacy
    presents WHAT OUR FATHERS DID: A NAZI LEGACY Directed by DAVID EVANS Written by PHILIPPE SANDS Produced by FINOLA DWYER and AMANDA POSEY World Premiere: Tribeca Film Festival Run Time: 92 minutes Publicity Contacts: Oscilloscope Laboratories New York: Los Angeles: Sydney Tanigawa 42 West 42 West [email protected] Scott Feinstein Max Buschman 212.219.4029 x 41 [email protected] [email protected] 212.413.0806 424.901.8743 1 SYNOPSIS A poignant, thought-provoking account of friendship and the toll of inherited guilt, WHAT OUR FATHERS DID explores the relationship between two men, each of whom are the children of very high-ranking Nazi officials and possess starkly contrasting attitudes toward their fathers. Eminent human rights lawyer Philippe Sands investigates the complicated connection between the two, and even delves into the story of his own grandfather who escaped the same town where their fathers carried out mass killings. The three embark on an emotional journey together, as they travel through Europe and converse about the past, examining the sins of their fathers and providing a unique view of the father-son relationship, ultimately coming to some very unexpected and difficult conclusions. 2 ABOUT THE FILM The idea for the documentary came from the internationally renowned British human rights lawyer Philippe Sands; in researching his book about the origins of international law (commissioned and to be published by Knopf in 2016), he became friends with two 70-something sons of very senior Nazis, one of whose fathers, Hans Frank, was tried and executed at Nuremberg. This unlikely friendship evolved into the film; it is both deeply personal and more universally resonant.
