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.

TALENT. CREATIVITY. ENTERPRISE.

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.

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). In January,
the agency bid farewell to the board of directors so
ably led for eight years by chairman James Morris and
welcomed our new Chairman, Bill O’Herlihy, who
took up office at the end of April. The new team of IFB
Project Managers, comprising Rory Gilmartin, Mary
Callery and Keith Potter, were all in place and working
together by the end of May. Screen Training Ireland
joined us in February, providing a strong new focus on
training and education in content production. The IFB
introduced a change to the way in which we process
our funding applications by introducing a new online
application system in November.

are rivals and antagonists, but they gradually forge a
deep friendship in the claustrophobic environment of a
closed, prison-like training camp. The pressure is briefly
relieved by excursions into the outside world, where
they both fall in love. Finally, Bill is confronted with the
shattered lives of wounded boys returning from Korea.

F
ew people know that renowned Irish tenor
John McCormack coached writer James
Joyce for the 1904 Feis Ceol singing
competition, where Joyce won a bronze medal.
And later that year, the two performed together
in Joyce’s only professional engagement as
a tenor. Through the characters of Shem the
Penman and Shaun the Post — the Earwicker
twins of Finnegans Wake — this film explores
their relationship, the roots of Joyce’s love of
music and the impact this had on his complex
final novel.

MISS
JULIE
43
A
large country estate in Ireland, 1890. 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.

ileen Gray designed and built the first ever
modernist house on Roquebrune-CapMartin, France, in 1926 for her lover, the
architectural journalist, Jean Badovici. Le
Corbusier, an architect he promoted, so effaced
and defaced Eileen Gray’s moral right to be
recognized as the author of her work that her
legacy as one of the most influential inspirations
of a century of modern architecture and
design was consigned to oblivion. The Price of
Desire portrays the triangular tale of insidious
chauvinism experienced by the remarkable
bisexual Irish artist, architect and designer as a
universal female experience while cinematically
evoking the essential aesthetic of Eileen Gray.

need to organise and express herself. With

Commonwealth Games, to complete six desert marathons
in seven days in the Gobi March and, incredibly, to race
across Antarctica to the South Pole.
But the gods weren’t finished with Mark. A week before he
was due to get married, he fell from a third-storey window
and broke his back in three places, leaving him paralysed
from the waist down. This documentary follows Mark’s
rehabilitation, as he deals with the realities of his new
situation and rebuilds his life.

T
his is not a biopic of Gerard Mannix Flynn — writer,
artist, performer, politician — but a social document in
which Flynn features as a guide to particular aspects of
Irish life. In our society, the majority of citizens date, mate
and live within the confines of their own social grouping.
In doing so, they internalise the values and prejudices of
their own class and “other” those who don’t share them.
Difficulties arise when the values of one class dominate
and become the norm against which everybody else is
measured. This is the story of one man’s struggle against
himself and those who wish to contain him.

DEMOCRAZY
Y
oung Colombian activist Katherin Miranda
believes in honest politics and in changing
a violent and corrupt country by peaceful
means. Inspired by her mentor, the famously
strange Colombian politician and philosopher
Antanas Mockus, Katherin is on a mission to
change the cultural and political identity of her
country; a Colombia dominated by illegality,
war, drugs and an erosion of trust. Katherin
awakens the young generation, and together
they create a movement to change the political
system. But is it possible? Can they overcome
the past and look towards a peaceful future?

n the shadow of Bagram Airfield — the
bastion of U.S. military might in Afghanistan
— exists a wartime economy that is run and
controlled entirely by children. Nomadic Kuchi
youngsters dig out anti-personnel mines and
sell them to the child workers of the lapis lazuli
mines. They in turn blast the precious blue
stones free from their ancient resting place,
to be smuggled by child soldiers, who control
their passage to China and Tajikistan. There,
the stones are bartered for arms and opium,
the very lifeblood of the Taliban in their war
against the U.S. occupation.

his is the story of a revolution. A slow
revolution. One that’s been going on for
twenty-five years and still shows no signs
of coming to a stop. Its líder máximo is Carlo
Petrini, better known as “Carlìn”. In 1989,
Carlìn launched Slow Food, an international
anti–fast food movement. Without ever
leaving his small Italian town he has created a
movement that now spans 150 countries and
has transformed gastronomy forever.
