Irish Film Industry Talent Film Tax Relief Consultation, Department of Finance, Government Buildings, Upper Merrion Street, Dublin 2 Irish Film Industry Talent By Octagon Films 31st August 2012 Octagon Films Film Following Neil Jordan’s seminal Oscar® win in 1993, Irish Academy Awards® winners since the enhancement to Section 481 and the re-constitution of IFB in the mind-nineties include Glen Hansard, Martin McDonagh, Terry George and Richie Baneham. McDonagh’s short film, Six Shooter, was supported by IFB. Terry George first feature film, Some Mother’s Son, was co-financed by Section 481 and IFB and won the Edinburgh International Film Festival and the European Academy Award for Best Debut Film. Irish Academy Award® Nominees during 2000 – 2010 include Tomm Moore, Ruairi Robinson, Seamus Byrne, Cathal Gaffney, Naomi Sheridan, Kirsten Sheridan, Jim Sheridan, Peter McDonald, Emer O’Kane, Juanita Wilson, Steph Green, Tamara Anghie, Cathal Gaffney, Darragh O’Connell, Lynn Johnson, and Michael Creagh. During 2000 – 2010, the Irish Film Industry has enhanced its infrastructure in key added- value areas essential to the development and promotion of a state-of-the art international production services centre. Key developments include: - The establishment of Element Pictures Distribution, an Irish feature film and theatrical documentary distributor, which secured the Irish and UK distribution rights for The Guard, the most commercially successful Irish independent feature film of all time and one of the biggest domestic hits of 2011. - The completion of Ashford Film and Television Studios in Ashford, County Wicklow which is a modern, world-class facility with three very large sound stages. Ashford opened in April 2012 and its first project, Vikings for MGM and The History Channel, commenced filming there in July 2012. During its construction and completion, Ashford did not avail of any State-funding or incentives. Through either initial Section 481 production investment and/or early IFB support, a new generation of international directors has emerged during 1996-2012 who, in addition to the international success of Neil Jordan and Jim Sheridan, have made a direct impact in Hollywood and these include John Moore (currently directing Die Hard 5), Kirsten Sheridan (director of three feature films including the $30m August Rush), John Carney (Director of Once, which won an Oscar®, grossed $40m at the international box office and inspired a multi Tony award-winning musical on Broadway) who is now directing a feature film for Fox Searchlight, Lance Daly (director of several U.S studio-financed films), Damien O’ Donnell (Ireland first ever BAFTA winner for directing East Is East), Brian Kirk (director of Boardwalk Empire and Dexter), Ruairi Robinson, currently directing Last Days on Mars for Universal Studios) and the team of James Mather and Stephen St. Ledger who jointly directed Lock- Out for Luc Besson. 2 Octagon Films A further ‘’new wave’’ of auteurial directors have emerged who have gained prominent attention both in terms of international film festivals throughout Europe and in new Irish Cinema. All of these directors are likely to have had their first films backed by both Section 481 investment and IFB loans and these include Lenny Abrahamson (Garage – Cannes 2007), Juanita Wilson (As If I Am Not There – Toronto 2010), Tomm Moore (The Secret Of Kells – Academy Awards® 2010 Nomination) and Rebecca Daly (Before I Sleep - Cannes 2010). Since the Best Screenplay nominations for Jim Sheridan and Neil Jordan, a further number of new writers have made their mark on the international stage. In 2006, Terry George was nominated for an Oscar® for Best Original Screenplay for Hotel Rwanda (2005) and the Cork- based writer of Inside I’m Dancing, Jeffrey Caine, was Oscar® nominated for Best Adapted Screenplay for The Constant Gardener in 2006. Other Oscar® nominated writers during the last decade include Jim Sheridan, Naomi Sheridan and Kirsten Sheridan for In America (2004) and, in 2012, John Banville adapted the screenplay for the Oscar®-nominated Albert Nobbs. Other successful Irish writers, involved earlier in their careers with projects co- financed by Section 481 and IFB, include Ronan Bennett (Michael Mann’s and Johnny Dep’s Public Enemies) and Frank Deasy, Ireland’s first screen-writer to win an Emmy® (Prime Suspect). In addition to the established Irish-based producers that emerged during the 1990s and that included Morgan O’Sullivan, Jim Sheridan, James Mitchell, David Collins and Arthur Lappin, a new generation of entrepreneurial and indigenous producers have emerged to run independent production companies with expertise in script development, talent management, fund-raising and marketing. These include: Alan Maloney (Parallel Films), Andrew Lowe (Element Pictures), Macdara Kelleher (Fastnet Films), Robert Walpole (Treasure Films), Tristan Orpen-Lynch (Subbotica Entertainment), Martina Niland (Samson Films), and John McDonnell (Fastnet Films). A new generation of feature film actors who originally worked in film and television projects supported by both IFB and Section 481 investment and who are now on the international stage in terms of Hollywood projects include Colin Farrell (Total Recall), Brendan Gleeson (HBO’s Churchill), Cillian Murphy (Batman Begins and The Dark Knight Rises), Ciaran Hinde (Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy) and Jonathan Rhys Myers (Match Point). All of the above actors regularly return to Ireland to work on indigenous projects or large- budget productions, bringing inward investment into the country and creating additional employment. For example, Ciaran Hinde will film a €2.5m adaptation of John Banville’s The Sea in Wexford during the Autumn of 2012. In addition the ‘’new wave’’ of international talent, there are many examples of established A-list stars returning to Ireland with major projects which attract Section 481 investment 3 Octagon Films e.g. Liam Neeson in Five Steps to Heaven and Michael Collins, Pierce Brosnan (Evelyn), Saoirse Ronan (Byzantium) and Gabriel Byrne (Vikings).

  • The Role of Irish-Language Film in Irish National Cinema Heather
    Finding a Voice: The Role of Irish-Language Film in Irish National Cinema Heather Macdougall A Thesis in the PhD Humanities Program Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at Concordia University Montreal, Quebec, Canada August 2012 © Heather Macdougall, 2012 ABSTRACT Finding a Voice: The Role of Irish-Language Film in Irish National Cinema Heather Macdougall, Ph.D. Concordia University, 2012 This dissertation investigates the history of film production in the minority language of Irish Gaelic. The objective is to determine what this history reveals about the changing roles of both the national language and national cinema in Ireland. The study of Irish- language film provides an illustrative and significant example of the participation of a minority perspective within a small national cinema. It is also illustrates the potential role of cinema in language maintenance and revitalization. Research is focused on policies and practices of filmmaking, with additional consideration given to film distribution, exhibition, and reception. Furthermore, films are analysed based on the strategies used by filmmakers to integrate the traditional Irish language with the modern medium of film, as well as their motivations for doing so. Research methods included archival work, textual analysis, personal interviews, and review of scholarly, popular, and trade publications. Case studies are offered on three movements in Irish-language film. First, the Irish- language organization Gael Linn produced documentaries in the 1950s and 1960s that promoted a strongly nationalist version of Irish history while also exacerbating the view of Irish as a “private discourse” of nationalism. Second, independent filmmaker Bob Quinn operated in the Irish-speaking area of Connemara in the 1970s; his fiction films from that era situated the regional affiliations of the language within the national context.

  • Wmc Investigation: 10-Year Analysis of Gender & Oscar
    WMC INVESTIGATION: 10-YEAR ANALYSIS OF GENDER & OSCAR NOMINATIONS womensmediacenter.com @womensmediacntr WOMEN’S MEDIA CENTER ABOUT THE WOMEN’S MEDIA CENTER In 2005, Jane Fonda, Robin Morgan, and Gloria Steinem founded the Women’s Media Center (WMC), a progressive, nonpartisan, nonproft organization endeav- oring to raise the visibility, viability, and decision-making power of women and girls in media and thereby ensuring that their stories get told and their voices are heard. 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.
