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.

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
2016. This not only makes a significant contribution to
office. The wonderful animated feature film Two by
Government’s Action Plan for Jobs in 2016, continued
04
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.

The Secret Scripture
—
Lady Rose is an elderly woman who has
lived in a hospital for 40 years. Despite her
bleak surroundings there is a light in her
eyes that cannot be extinguished.
Dr Grene is drawn to her, compelled to
discover her past and gain her freedom.
Through her scripture we reveal a life of
extraordinary love, great injustice and
a remarkable young woman of courage
whose only crime was to fall in love yet she
survives the system’s brutal violations.
Set against a backdrop of troubled times
locally and chaos internationally we learn
of her ultimate triumph.

Unless
—
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.

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

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.

of unspeakable cruelty. It is a story of

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

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.

It’s Not Yet Dark
—
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.

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.
