Chair’s Note

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. We begin 2016 with the confidence that IFB-funded films are ranked as being among the very best in the world. In 2015, Ireland was represented on the world stage from the Academy Awards®, to the world’s leading film festivals, to major box office successes with both Irish and international audiences. The IFB is proud to continue supporting Irish creative talent in the Irish film and TV industry. Dr Annie Doona Acting Chair Bord Scannán na hÉireann/ the Irish Film Board (IFB)

Introduction Success for Irish Film in 2015 — In 2015 Irish creative talent brought wonderful visual stories to audiences at home and abroad through IFB-funded feature film, TV drama and animation. In early 2015 Cartoon Saloon’s Song of the Sea represented Ireland at the Academy Awards® when it was nominated in the category of Best Animated Feature. In May, The Lobster was met with success at the Cannes Film Festival where it won the Jury Prize. Lenny Abrahamson’s Room scooped the People’s Choice Award at the Toronto International Film Festival in September. As the year came to a close, Room and Brooklyn each received nominations for the 2016 Golden Globe Awards. These are all highlycoveted international accolades and again prove the strength of Irish talent. Irish Creative Talent — ‘Irish Film 2016’ showcases thirteen Irish features, seven co-production feature films, three animated TV series, seventeen feature documentaries and fourteen short films.

the Irish cultural landscape, but also creates Irish jobs and helps to promote Ireland and its indigenous talent. This year we will see new films from established Irish directors such as Jim Sheridan’s The Secret Scripture, John Carney’s Sing Street, Rebecca Daly’s Mammal, Juanita Wilson’s Tomato Red and John Butler’s Handsome Devil. Films from up-and-coming Irish talent include Without Name by Lorcan Finnegan, Pilgrimage from screenwriter Jamie Hannigan and The Breadwinner from Nora Twomey. The IFB is also proud to continue supporting projects featuring rising Irish acting talent including Fionn O’Shea (Handsome Devil), Niamh Algar (Without Name), Tara Lee (Moon Dogs) and Lauren Kinsella (You’re Ugly Too). To ensure continued development of the industry, Screen Training Ireland, part of the IFB, provides training and career development throughout the sector.

Two – Ooops... the Ark Has Gone from Moetion Films took over €4 million in Ireland and the UK, while Conor Horgan’s timely documentary The Queen of Ireland was very well received by critics and at the box office. We very much look forward to seeing how audiences respond to our upcoming slate of films this year. Documentary — The feature documentary film Older Than Ireland was an early contribution by the IFB to the 1916 centenary celebrations. 2015 was another great year for Irish documentaries at the domestic box office, and the IFB is anticipating another interesting year for the factual genre with upcoming productions including The Farthest directed by Emer Reynolds, Crash and Burn directed by Seán Ó Cualáin and In Loco Parentis directed by Neasa Ní Chianáin and David Rane.

Global Reach at Festivals — In 2015 Irish films continued to have a global reach with a strong Irish presence at several of the world’s leading film festivals. This began in January when no less than five IFB-funded productions screened at the Sundance Film Festival, with Jack Reynor winning an award for his performance in Glassland and Brooklyn securing a record distribution deal from Fox Searchlight Pictures.

Animation — The IFB continues to invest in animated films and television series’ and remained a major funder of the Irish animation sector in 2015. Among the projects backed by the IFB are Cartoon Saloon’s The Breadwinner, the second series of the highly popular Puffin Rock, Kavaleer’s wonderful Kiva Can Do! and Jam Media’s imaginative Little Roy.

Irish films featured at major international festivals throughout the year including SXSW (The Visit), Tribeca (Jimmy’s Hall, Personal Development), Cannes (The Lobster), Venice (11 Minutes) and London (Room, Brooklyn, 11 Minutes, The Lobster). In September, three films premiered at the exclusive Telluride Film Festival (Room, Viva and Mom and Me). In addition, six films were chosen for the prestigious Toronto International Film Festival (Room, Brooklyn, The Lobster, Being AP, My Name is Emily and 11 Minutes).

In February the short animation Somewhere Down the Line directed by Julien Regnard won the Best Animation award in the International Competition at the prestigious Clermont-Ferrand Short Film Festival. To continue the promotion of our animated short films we were delighted to partner with organisations such as Culture Night and Irish Design 2015 to bring Irish animation to new audiences.

Investing in Irish creative talent is one of the key functions of the IFB, with Irish directors, producers, screenwriters, actors and crew continuing to make an impact at home and abroad throughout 2015 and into

Audiences — 2015 demonstrated that Irish audiences have a strong enthusiasm for Irish film at the cinema. John Crowley’s direction of Colm Tóibín’s Brooklyn has been an extraordinary success with critics and audiences, taking over €2.5 million in Ireland and over €15 million in the United States to date. Yorgos Lanthimos’ The Lobster took over €4 million at the international box

Irish Screen Industry — 2015 was a year of major change with the introduction of the new 32% tax credit. The successful transition to the new system involved the industry working closely with the IFB on changes and improvements to the new film tax credit, which were reflected in the Finance Act 2015. The development of dedicated film studios to accommodate the increased demand was also high on the agenda and again the industry worked closely with government on this. It is anticipated that as part of the

focus will be placed on promoting the Irish screen industries as part of ongoing government policy. The Future — 2015 saw the emergence of a long-overdue discussion on gender equality in Irish film, and in particular the underrepresentation of women in the Irish film industry. It is a key priority of the IFB to address the issue of inequality in the industry and is a subject which we will continue to address in 2016. 2016 will begin with the Irish cinema release of Room, Lenny Abrahamson’s remarkable fifth feature as director, which alongside Brooklyn has received nominations at January’s Golden Globe Awards. Room has been nominated for Best Motion Picture – Drama, Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture – Drama and Best Screenplay – Motion Picture with a nomination for Brooklyn in the category of Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture – Drama, and I wish both films the best of luck at the awards. January also sees the Official Selection of seven films at the renowned Sundance Film Festival. The Irish lineup is Love & Friendship, Sing Street, Mammal, The Land of the Enlightened, Viva, The Lobster and the animated short A Coat Made Dark. In 2016 we will unveil our one-off short film initiative After ’16, a scheme which aims to commemorate, celebrate and ruminate on the 1916 Rising. We are very proud to be taking part in the celebrations taking place during the centenary year of 2016, which will mark such an important event in Irish history. The Irish feature film, TV drama and TV animation industry has enjoyed a fantastic year in 2015, and 2016 has already kicked off to a strong start. Over the next year and beyond the IFB will continue to promote Irish talent, creativity and enterprise on the screen. We are very proud of the achievements of those working throughout the industry and passionately believe that the work supported by the IFB is the best testament to the value of IFB funding and what it can deliver for Irish culture in 2016 and onwards.

Reta Winters has many reasons to be happy. Her three almost-grown daughters. Her twenty-year relationship with their father. Her modest success as a writer. Then, suddenly, all the quiet satisfactions of her well-lived life disappear in a moment – her eldest daughter Norah suddenly drops out of college, runs from the family and is found on a Toronto street corner, with a hand-lettered cardboard sign reading ‘Goodness’ on her chest. Unless follows Reta and her family as they struggle first to ‘rescue’ Norah, then to understand her incomprehensible decision in taking this strange path.

Without Name —

Land surveyor Eric, alienated from urban existence and those who love him, travels to a remote and unnamed woodland to assess its suitability for a dubious development project. Intangible elements are at play in this ethereal environment. The place seems to be imbued by an intelligence of sorts and fascinates the fragmenting Eric as much as it disturbs him. Following in the psychonautic footsteps of the mysterious Devoy, Eric attempts to communicate with his surroundings but risks becoming a prisoner of a place Without Name.

Conor and Jock, two dopey looking innercity teenagers from Cork, are best friends who dress the same, with dodgy haircuts and bum-fluff moustaches.

Jock and Conor steal two bikes and travel on a 160km road trip hoping to find a bale with Healy in hot pursuit.

The Farthest —

It is one of humankind’s greatest achievements. More than 12 billion miles away, a tiny spaceship is leaving our Solar System and entering the void of deep space, the first man-made object ever to do so. At its heart is a nuclear generator that will beat for perhaps another decade before the lights on Voyager 1 finally go out. But this little craft and its twin, Voyager II, will travel on for millions of years, each carrying a Golden Record bearing recordings and images of life on Earth. In all likelihood the Voyagers will outlast humanity. The Farthest will celebrate these magnificent machines, the men and women who built them and the vision that propelled them farther than anyone could ever have hoped.

The Queen of Ireland —

Leaving aside its importance as a historical chronicle, The Queen of Ireland is a super movie, replete with tragedy, comedy, a plucky, unlikely heroine, and a sweeping dramatic arc. — Tara Brady, Irish Times The Panti Bliss documentary is a ground-breaker. Moving and moving fast, the story of O’Neill’s journey into Panti, and Panti’s journey into modern Ireland makes for one of the most absorbing and entertaining Irish films for a long time. — Katy Hayes, Sunday Times Culture

Pandora ‘Panti’ Bliss is many things: part glamorous aunt, part Jessica Rabbit; she’s a wittily incisive performer with charisma to burn who is regarded as one of the best drag queens in the world. Created by Rory O’Neill, Panti is also an accidental activist and in her own words ‘a court jester, whose role is to say the unsayable’. Over the last few years Rory has become a figurehead for LGBT rights in Ireland and his fight for equality and against homophobia has become recognised across the world. This is a documentary film that follows Rory’s journey from the small Mayo town of Ballinrobe to striding the world stage. The film takes us behind the scenes with his alter ego Panti in the year she became the symbol of Ireland’s march towards marriage equality.

Crash and Burn — For a fleeting moment in the early ’80s Drogheda’s Tommy Byrne was the world’s greatest driver, the motor racing equivalent of George Best and Muhammad Ali all rolled into one. In a little over four years Byrne went from driving a Mini Cooper in stock-car racing to the big time in Formula One. Eddie Jordan, the former team-owner, who worked with both Ayrton Senna and Michael Schumacher, will tell you: ‘Forget Schuey and Senna. Tommy Byrne was the best of them all.’ His rise was meteoric and his fall spectacular.

In Loco Parentis tells the story of Headfort, the last remaining boarding school for primary age children in Ireland. The 18th century Hogwarts-like estate with its grand reception rooms, long corridors and secret doors, is quaintly incongruous with the ultra-modern teaching of the brilliant band of idiosyncratic teachers, many of whom live on the school estate. The teachers’ passion is to ignite the creative core of their young wards — with rock music and explosive chemistry, with horse riding and current affairs, and to answer the ubiquitous question young children ask — what if…? This observational documentary shot over twelve months tracks the progress of this ‘extended family’ as the Headfort surrogate parents work together to guide the 7 to 13 year olds through those precious days of childhood.

Atlantic —

Blood Sisters —

The 4th Act —

Unfolding against the backdrop of crippling economic austerity, Going Viral tells the story of Paul, a serially unemployed father of three, as he tries to reinvent himself by creating the internet star ‘Mattress Mick’ out of a mattress salesman.

Atlantic follows the fortunes of three fishing communities in transition — in Ireland, Norway and Newfoundland, as they deal with mounting challenges within their own industry, an environment under threat and the lure of high wages on the offshore rigs. This film focuses on the personal stories from those living with these changes, and the threat of losing their livelihoods forever.

Blood Sisters is a film about the unconditional love between Julia and Johanna, twin sisters from the high-rise flats in the suburb Rosengard in Malmö, Sweden. They have been inseparable for as long as they can remember, carrying shared memories of devastating trauma from their home country of Azerbaijan. Blood Sisters follows their journey from girls to young women trying to find their own feet through the inevitable circle of life.

The 4th Act examines the legacy of Ballymun’s 15-year regeneration project, via the dramatically and digitally reconstructed memories of the community itself.

Rocky Ros Muc is a feature documentary telling the compelling story of one of Ireland’s lesser-known sons, who came from humble beginnings to becoming a boxing legend challenging for a world title. From the quiet Galway village of Ros Muc to the criminal underworld of Whitey Bulger and the mean streets of Boston, this documentary examines not just determination and spirit inside the ring but troubles outside, exploring the reality of emigration and life on the fringes.

It’s Not Yet Dark tells the inspirational story of Irishman Simon Fitzmaurice, a talented young filmmaker with ALS, as he embarks on the mammoth task of directing his first feature film, communicating only through the use of his eyes.

Chuige seo, cuireann BSÉ maoiniú ar fáil do ghearrscannáin trí réimse scéimeanna, atá uilig oscailte roimh iarratais do ghearrscannáin as Gaeilge.

Signatures Signatures is the IFB’s flagship short film scheme. It showcases live-action short filmmaking, encouraging strong, original storytelling, visual flair and production values appropriate to the big screen. These short films act as a proving ground for Irish creative talent who aspire to write, direct and produce feature-length films for the cinema.

Frameworks Frameworks is a short-animation scheme that looks for filmmakers with imagination, visual flair and commitment to innovation. It is also open to established animators who wish to realise more personal and creative projects. These films were co-financed by the IFB, RTÉ and the Arts Council.

These Signatures films premiered at the Galway Film Fleadh 2015

These Frameworks films premiered at the Galway Film Fleadh 2015.

Reality Bites Reality Bites is a short-documentary scheme that encourages experimentation and a fresh approach to non-fiction filmmaking, whether the documentary is journalistic or creative, observational or aesthetic, objective or personal. These Reality Bites films premiered at IFI Documentary Festival 2015.

Gearrscannáin Gearrscannáin offers new directors a chance to produce Irish-language shorts that challenge viewers and introduce interesting themes, while also appealing to a general audience. Tugann Gearrscannáin deis do stiúrthóirí nua gearrscannáin as Gaeilge a dhéanamh, a théann sa tseans, a chuireann dúshlán roimh lucht féachana, agus a bhfuil téamaí suimiúla acu, chomh maith le bheith tarraingteach do lucht féachana ginearálta.

Up in the clouds, a nervous young raindrop is terrified about his first fall to earth as an imminent storm rapidly approaches.

Jane is a neglected 12 year old working in the family shooting range. She’s always been good with guns, and one evening at the local carnival she gets a chance to prove it – forever altering the course of her young life.

Violet is the cautionary tale of a young girl who despises her reflection. Tired of the abuse, her reflection decides she’s not going to take it any more…

A Terrible Hullabaloo Baring Arms — —

Goodbye, Darling —

Granite and Chalk —

The story of young Vinny Byrne, a fourteen-year-old boy who found himself fighting for Ireland in the Easter Rising. An eighty-year-old Vinny reminisces on his time with the volunteers, which took him around the city during the fighting. With Vinny’s Dublin brought to life by handmade miniature sets and puppetry, the film offers a uniquely charming first-hand account of the 1916 Rising.

Goodbye, Darling is one day in the enduring love story of Irish Volunteer Michael Joseph O’Rahilly and his wife Nancy. It is day five of the 1916 Rising, and as the fighting intensifies, a concerned Nancy seeks comfort and diversion by playing the piano, unaware that her husband is leaving the beleaguered G.P.O. to lead the charge that will ultimately claim his life.

Delving into declassified British intelligence documents, this documentary tells the story of two spies who could have changed Irish history. Codenamed Granite and Chalk, the agents reported from within rebel camps as they prepared to revolt against British rule in the 1916 Easter Rising.

There are many ways to commemorate the 1916 Rising, only one involves bloodshed. Director/Script Colm Quinn Producer David Clarke Photography Aidan Maguire Editor Jordan Montminy Irish Locations Dublin, Kildare, Derry, Meath, Antrim Running Time 10 minutes Production Company El Zorrero Films

Mr. Yeats & The Beastly Coins — Ten years after the Easter Rising, in 1926, the Free State government decided to create a new coinage for the new state. They invited the most famous poet in the world, W.B. Yeats, to chair the design committee. Behind-the-scenes battles were fought before the new coins became one of the most enduring success stories of the new Irish state.

My Life For Ireland —

The Cherishing —

The Party —

Ireland, Easter, 1916. In Dublin, Irish rebel Patrick Pearse leads a revolt to free Ireland from the grips of the British Empire. Owen, a young Irish patriot, wants to join them in their fight for freedom.

When The Rising starts the local sweet shops are the first to be looted by Dubliners living in the tenements. Noel and Tom race off and leave their mothers and sisters at home but the havoc of the next few days will come right to everyone’s door.

Laurence welcomes his friend and manon-the-run Mickey to a party of drinking, dancing and young love. By morning, reality catches up with them.
