FILM 2014 PRODUCTION CATALOGUE IRISH EYE ON TALENT AN CHAIRMAN’S NOTE I am greatly honoured to have been appointed Chairman of Bord Scannán na hÉireann/the Irish Film Board (IFB) and am fully committed to continuing the great work of my predecessors. The IFB has been supporting Irish stories told through film, television, animation and documentary for twenty years. These stories are an integral part of Irish culture, and through the medium of cinema, with its massive global reach and popularity — and nowadays through online and broadcast media as well — they can travel the globe and be shared with more people than ever before. The IFB will continue to invest in their journey every step of the way. At home, the film, television and animation industry generates substantial revenue for the economy, and it shows great potential for growth and job creation in the future. As the development agency for this industry, the IFB’s investment in Irish creative talent presents an excellent return to Ireland, both culturally and economically. I look forward to helping build on this Irish success story.

CREATIVITY. ENTERPRISE. B 6 ord Scannán na hÉireann/the Irish Film Board (IFB) has been investing in Irish feature films, television dramas, documentaries and animation for twenty years now, and I believe we have a lot to be proud of. The sector has gone from strength to strength, particularly over the last five years, showing audiences a wealth of creative talent, delivering growth and job opportunities in the face of a massive economic downturn and a significant reduction in funding for the IFB. Projects supported by the IFB this year include films by established directors Lenny Abrahamson (Frank), Mary McGuckian (The Price of Desire), John Boorman (Queen and Country) and Ken Loach (Jimmy’s Hall); first-time feature directors Vivienne deCourcy (Wild), Brian O’Malley (Let Us Prey) and Lisa Mulcahy (The Legend of Longwood); and returning feature directors Niall Heery (Gold) and Terry McMahon (Patrick’s Day). Production also began on the animation feature film Song of the Sea from the company behind the Academy Award ® nominated The Secret of Kells, and the new documentary feature film Gentlemen by multiaward winning director Ken Wardrop. Films such as The Guard, directed by John Michael McDonagh and starring Brendan Gleeson, What Richard Did, directed by Lenny Abrahamson and starring Jack Reynor, The Hardy Bucks Movie, directed by Mike Cockayne, and Pilgrim Hill, directed by Gerard Barrett, engaged audiences at home and around the world. These films highlight the wide breadth of Irish film driven by Irish creative talent. The work continues with John Michael McDonagh’s new film Calvary, Lenny Abrahamson’s Frank and John Butler’s The Stag, all of which will be released in Ireland in 2014. Irish animation TV producers performed outstandingly at Cartoon Forum this year, presenting the highest number of IFB-backed animated series ever to key financiers. These included Puffin Rock, narrated by Chris O’Dowd, and the continuation of the successful series Punky. The IFB also continues to invest in Irishlanguage TV drama with An Bronntanas. Over the course of 2013, the IFB invested ¤7.6 million in feature film, television drama and animation projects. This investment enabled Irish producers to raise ¤59.5 million, which was invested directly into the Irish economy through employment and spend on local goods and services. 20 Years of Storytelling The IFB celebrated its 20th anniversary in April. During this time, the agency invested in hundreds of feature films, feature documentaries, TV animation and drama series, as well playing a central role in developing the industry through training and education. Our 20th anniversary showreel displayed the variety and creativity of the Irish talent at work in a selection of films produced since 1993. The Irish writers, directors, artists and technicians involved in these films can rightly be proud of the great work they have done in bringing Irish stories to domestic and international audiences. And most importantly, the Irish Government demonstrated its support for the industry by announcing major improvements to the tax incentive for film and television, Section 481, increasing Ireland’s international competitiveness as a location for film, television and animation commencing in 2015. Global Reach of Cinema Throughout the year IFB films, telling Irish stories, crossed the globe and represented Ireland at the highest levels of the entertainment industry. The world’s most prestigious festivals hosted the premieres of a wide range of Irish films, including Cannes (The Last Days on Mars), Sundance (The Summit), SXSW (Good Vibrations, Kelly + Victor), Tribeca (Run & Jump, Dark Touch), Toronto (The Stag, The Sea, Life’s a Breeze, The F Word, All Is By My Side, Stay), and Sheffield Doc/Fest (Here Was Cuba). Looking back at 2013, for me the global reach of cinema was demonstrated by the extraordinary journey of a small Irish short animated documentary called Irish Folk Furniture. Tony Donoghue’s film began the year at Sundance and went on to screen at Telluride and over 170 other festivals, picking up eighteen awards. It was shown in Starbucks coffee houses across the US, and even managed to fit in a screening at the prestigious Victoria and Albert Museum in London along the way. Through the international power of cinema, audiences all over the world engaged with and loved a small Irish film. The Catalyst Project The IFB recently launched a new Catalyst Project, which offers up-and-coming filmmakers the opportunity to pitch for three low-budget feature film awards. Over 400 directors, producers and writers are participating in the initial stages of this project. The enthusiasm with which the scheme has been received and the high calibre of participants involved leaves me very optimistic about the new generation of filmmakers. These are the creative artists who will contribute to the future growth of Irish film. 7 The Future The central role of the IFB is to invest in Irish creative talent. Looking to the coming years, I feel very confident in the cultural and economic value of the Irish film, television and animation industry, and the growth prospects and opportunity that it brings to Ireland. With the exit from the bailout and the departure of the Troika, confidence in the economy is coming back. The creative industries have kept the spirit of Irish cultural life alive through difficult times, and the IFB looks forward to that creativity, talent and enterprise flourishing in the next decade. JAMES HICKEY Chief Executive Bord Scannán na hÉireann/ The Irish Film Board WWW.IRISHFILMBOARD.IE Production Activity The industry continued to experience high levels of production activity this year, ranging from feature film and high-end TV drama to animation, documentary and low-budget projects. This publication showcases twelve Irish feature films, six creative feature coproductions, seventeen feature documentaries, two TV dramas and eight animated projects, all of which were funded by the IFB. International TV production in Ireland is at its highest level on record. Major projects include the TV series Penny Dreadful, worth over ¤33 million to the Irish economy and shooting in Ardmore Studios, as well as the second series of both Vikings and Ripper Street. A Year of Change 2013 was a year of great change at Bord Scannán na hÉireann/the Irish Film Board (IFB).

Over the course of one midsummer night, a brutal, flirtatious power struggle takes place between Julie, a young aristocratic woman, and John, her father’s valet. In an atmosphere of revelry and loosened social constraints, Julie and John dance, drink, charm and manipulate each other. She is haughty but longing for abasement, he is both polished and coarse; they are held together by mutual loathing and attraction. Their escape comes in one final act that is as sublime and horrific as anything in Greek tragedy.
