Indelibly woven into the rich cultural heritage of the nation, the arts in their entirety make Ireland a better place to live. The Irish film, animation and TV industry forms a central part of the creative industries in Ireland. One only has to look back at the sense of pride throughout the country at Ireland’s Academy Awards® success this year to see how integral film has become to our nation’s cultural identity.

Film offers us audiovisual narratives, not only ones that mirror our lives and tell our past and present stories, but also narratives that look to new and exciting imaginings and futures. But it is not just the contribution of film to our intellectual, social and cultural life that is important; there are huge employment opportunities in the industries — opportunities for talented people in film, television, animation, and creative computer games.

This year we launched our five-year strategy ‘Building on Success’ — detailing our ambitious vision and plans for the role of Bord Scannán na hÉireann/the Irish Film Board (IFB) within the thriving Irish film, animation and TV industry. We also welcomed a much-needed increase in funding for 2017 to meet the need to support and develop the next generation of storytellers and filmmakers. However, we remain ambitious for the sector and we will continue to call for restoration of funding to pre-recession levels.

The IFB is proud to continue supporting Irish creative talent in the film, animation and TV industry and we remain focused on ensuring this support reflects our goals in achieving gender equality and diversity in the coming years.

The term of the current Board of the IFB ends in January 2017 and I would like to pay tribute to the tremendous hard work and commitment of the Board over the last four years. It has been my honour to serve as Chair of the Board and to work with the IFB staff and the film industry on many great initiatives.

Introduction

And it is not just one or two major films that have

broken through. Yes, IFB films received a record

number of Academy Awards® nominations this year

with Room and Brooklyn taking nine nominations

between them, including a Best Picture nod for

each film. Two of the eight best films at the Oscars

were Irish in 2016 — a phenomenal achievement.

But there are more IFB-funded films hot on their

heels, strongly resonating with Irish audiences.

First-time directors Peter Foott and Darren

Thornton produced two of the most talked-about

Irish films of the year with The Young Offenders

and A Date for Mad Mary respectively. Foott’s

wildly successful comedy grossed €1.2 million

at the Irish box office, with its stars Alex Murphy

and Chris Walley receiving international praise for

their performances. Meanwhile, a star was born in

personnel that make up the teams that make films,

TV animation and TV drama. The continued growth of

the sector depends on this investment. Our strength

is in our creativity and our creativity is in our people.

The IFB launched its Five-Year Strategic Plan

2016-2020 in July 2016, which focuses on vision

and leadership in the screen sector. The strategy

outlines our ambition to promote gender equality and

diversity, build audiences, develop and support screen

production through funding and creative initiatives,

develop and nurture talent and skills through training

and education and promote inward production.

New Irish films coming to the market in 2017

include Stephen Burke’s MAZE filmed in Cork and

starring Tom Vaughan-Lawlor and Barry Ward,

Nora Twomey’s animated feature The Breadwinner

currently in production in Kilkenny, and Lance Daly’s

Black ’47 shooting in Connemara and Wicklow.

There are also a number of directorial debuts coming

through, including Mark O’Rowe’s Delinquent

Season starring Cillian Murphy and Andrew Scott,

and two Catalyst projects The Drummer and the

Keeper from Nick Kelly and Kissing Candice from

Aoife McArdle. We also have a number of strong

creative documentaries in the pipeline including Elián

from Ross McDonnell, Feargal Ward’s Outside The

Factory and Blinder Films’ Grace Jones: The Musical

Of My Life. The IFB continues to fund and develop

creative children’s animated television including

Jam Media’s Becca’s Brunch, Salty Dog’s Brewster

the Rooster and Brown Bag’s Gilbert & Sadie.

Over the last number of years, Ireland has undergone

a surge in inward production and this year saw Irish/

Canadian TV series, Vikings, continuing to film in

Ashford Studios in Wicklow, alongside the arrival

of major TV series Into the Badlands. The cast of

Star Wars Episode VIII arrived in Ireland to shoot

the latest episode in the saga, filming all along the

Wild Atlantic Way. Hollywood stars Mel Gibson

and Sean Penn visited Ireland to film the big-screen

adaptation of The Professor and the Madman,

shooting in iconic locations around Dublin and Mayo.

A new dedicated film studio, Troy Studios, is

opening in Limerick in early 2017 with the IFB and

Screen Training Ireland working on developing

skills and infrastructure in the region. The IFB is

working closely with the IDA and Enterprise Ireland

on developing Ireland as a screen content hub and

we will also be working with RTÉ and TG4 on the

production of films, TV drama and TV animation.

The Irish animation sector is continuing its global

expansion, illustrated by the special focus on

Ireland at Cartoon Forum in 2016, one of the world’s

leading pitching and co-production forums for

animated content, with a large number of new

Irish projects selected to pitch at the event. Irish

companies Brown Bag and Boulder Media are

now internationally owned and producing major

TV animation series for the world market.

The cutural industries received a major boost with

the launch of the Creative Ireland programme by

the Taoiseach and the Minister for Arts, with a

particular focus on developing Ireland as a centre

of excellence for media production. This includes

a series of initiatives putting culture and creativity

at the centre of Irish life and in the mainstream

of Irish policy-making. Part of the programme

includes the launch of the audiovisual sector report

commissioned by the Department of Arts working

in partnership with the IFB, the Department of

Communications and the Department of Jobs. The

report will be published in the second quarter of 2017

and will provide robust statistics and goals for the

audiovisual sector. It will also look at strategies to

promote growth and expansion across the sector.

2016 was a special year for Irish film and TV

animation, ending with four Golden Globe

nominations for Irish talent. It is living proof that

when supported, Irish creative talent flourishes

throughout the world, building on our reputation

for talent and creativity. We want to wish all

those working in Ireland’s creative industries even

greater success in 2017. Through supporting the

sector, we not only support the lifeblood of an

economy creating jobs and exports, but we help

to establish a platform for important and salient

narratives to be played out — together making

Ireland a greater place in which to work and live.

James HickeyChief ExecutiveBord Scannán na hÉireann/ Irish Film Board

the form of Seána Kerslake as she wowed as the

troubled Mary in Thornton’s much-applauded film.

Two more IFB-funded films, The Lobster and

Love & Friendship, competed at the top of the US

independent box office charts in the summer of 2016.

John Carney’s Sing Street was included in almost

every major international listing of best films for 2016.

Global audiences enjoyed Irish films with worldwide

box office figures reaching to over $150 million.

This success is the culmination of the long-term

investment in Irish creative talent which has been

supported over the years by Bord Scannán na

hÉireann/the Irish Film Board. We must continue

to invest in Irish screenwriters, directors, creative

producers, animators, actors, designers, music

composers and performers and all the other creative

Worldwide audiences, international recognition and strong global box office figures — the Irish film, animation and TV drama industry is experiencing a period of unprecedented success. Over the past year, a host of projects funded by Bord Scannán na hÉireann/the Irish Film Board (IFB) along with projects supported by Ireland’s tax credit have reached global audiences, solidifying Ireland’s reputation as a centre of artistic excellence.

Good Favour—

A young man, Tom, walks out of an immense forest into the lives of a strictly devout Christian community carving out a remote existence in central Europe. They recognise that he bears the scars of trauma, and he is welcomed by them. As he is initiated into their farming life and scriptural regime, he discovers the community is suffering a crisis of faith following a devastating loss.

When Tom’s actions avert a potential tragedy, the mystery surrounding him grows. Where did he come from? Has God answered the prayers of his people?

What follows is a tense and intriguing drama during which an unlikely relationship is forged between two adversaries.

The Lodgers—

Anglo-Irish twins Rachel and Edward share a strange existence in their crumbling family estate. Each night, the property becomes the domain of a sinister presence which enforces three rules upon the twins — they must be in bed by midnight, they may not permit an outsider past the threshold and if one attempts to escape, the life of the other is forfeited.

When troubled war veteran Sean returns to the nearby village, he is immediately drawn to the mysterious Rachel, who in turn begins to break the rules set out by the lodgers. The consequences pull Rachel into a deadly confrontation with her brother and with the curse that haunts them.

Aithrí/Penance—

Unequivocal about the need for violence to force Britain out of Ireland, Father Eoin O’Donnell seals the fate of the young and impressionable Antaine by convincing him to fight in the 1916 Rising. Fifty years later, the reappearance of the now-experienced gunman Antaine in a divided Derry throws Father O’Donnell into turmoil. Once allies, the pair are now placed on opposite sides of the same agenda.

Agus é ar an intinn go bhfuil gá le foréigean chun lucht na Breataine a dhíbir as Éirinn, tá an tAthair Eoin Ó Dónaill freagrach as cinniúint Antaine, fear óg soghonta, tar éis dó é a spreagadh chun troda in Éirí Amach 1916. Caoga bliain ar aghaidh agus tá Antaine anois cleachtaithe le gunnadóireacht. Nuair a thagann sé chun tosaigh arís i gcathair scoilte Dhoire cuireann sé an tAthair Ó Donaill trína chéile. Bhí siad d’aontaobh tráth, ach anois tá siad ar dhá thaobh an scéil.

Sadie is a typical fourteen-year-old girl whose life becomes anything but typical when she finds out that she’s actually a wizard. Okay, technically, a wizard-in-training. Sadie is, in fact, a rarity — it’s almost unheard of in the wizarding world for someone so young to possess such a natural gift for magic. To that end, a magical mentor has been sent to guide and train her, in the form of Gilbert — a very old and very grumpy rabbit.

Gilbert & Sadie is an animated supernatural sitcom about the ultimate odd couple. Gilbert plays by the rules, while Sadie is all instinct, but in each other they’ve found the perfect magical match.

What begins as a story of one man’s struggle to hold on to his way of life and land, transforms into a universal exploration of a battle between principle and power.

Bound together by musical performance sequences and a voice-over from Grace herself, the film shows us the figure we’ve come to know — wild, androgynous, larger than life — as well as discovering her as a daughter, mother, sister and grandmother. A woman characterised by such contradictions, Grace Jones reminds us of what it is to dare to be truly alive.

What drives a modest man, with no interest in fame, to refuse retirement and continually look to the future regardless of age? Kevin Roche’s stated philosophy is that “the responsibility of the modern architect is to create a community for a modern society”, and it is through Roche’s work that we examine the relationship between architects, their clients and the public they ultimately serve.

The follow-up film to Close to Evil sees Irish Holocaust survivor Tomi Reichental embark on another epic journey. In Eastern Europe, he confronts the ‘crisis of shame’ that prevents an honest reckoning with the scale of local ‘collusion’ with the Nazi extermination project. In Bosnia, Tomi embraces Muslim survivors of a genocide, who still search for the bones of their loved ones. Along the way he puts himself into the shoes of the ‘new Jews’ and discovers a strong common bond with refugees fleeing the hell that is Syria.

This film brings us deep inside the IRA and charts one woman’s journey from passionate idealist to disillusioned cynic, haunted by the memories of the terrible things she did for a cause she had once so strongly believed in. But this is more than the story of grotesque acts of violence. It is the intimate and complex portrait of a revolutionary born to the cause of violent republicanism.

It is an Irish story but it is also a universal tale of the journey taken by activists around the world throughout time. The radicalisation of young men and women in support of acts of outrageous violence has never been more relevant.

One man’s journey through life and his search to reconnect with nature and culture as primary sources from which we gain a deeper understanding of ourselves and our surroundings.

While centred on one man’s life in a small farming community in the Burren, Co. Clare, the film explores much deeper themes – in the modern world, how have we severed our connection with rural life and nature? What have we lost? Have we become empowered or disempowered, free or enslaved? What happens to us when we lose our sense of wonder?

The tale of a young boy whose love for Christmas is not dampened by his mean-spirited neighbour, who doesn’t want the holiday to come at all.

A sensitive but slightly oddball student enters the life of her unsuspecting teacher and wreaks havoc. Set against a visit by two American

anthropologists to Dún Chaoin, the film sits at the interface of what they perceive as the terminal decline of language and customs of the past and the perspective of the local community who largely misconstrue their intentions.
