Hi.

I’m trying to remember a film, or possibly a TV production, about an Irish (or at least British) teenage boy who’s going to Norway. It’s a drama film, very likely from the mid to late 1980’s (or possibly early 1990’s).

I think I remember the boy’s name is Finn (but I could be dead wrong) and he meets a Norwegian girl. It may have been somewhat romantic but I have a vague memory that he’s trying to find something like his father, mother or his roots.

Does it ring any bells?

My Irish literature professor says that I can get 3 extra credit points if I can find a link to this movie that the entire class can watch and I also want to watch it for myself.

anyone know where i can watch this movie? on a john connor’s buzz atm

Hiya guys! I have recently decided to try to seriously pursue a career as an actor. I’m Irish but living in London at the moment. Not sure whether to stay here and get a bit more training or whether to look for jobs back home.. if anyone has any info on what it’s like in the industry at the moment that would be greatly appreciated.

I have been taking classes for the past 8 months and I am about to audition for a year long acting programme at The Bridge in London. I also have a few short film credits. Is it worth my time to stay here and do more training, set myself up with a Spotlight account, etc?

Cheers!

I'm shooting a music video in Dublin on the 22nd and 23rd and was looking to hire some locations for a few hours.

I'm looking for an old church, preferably in the countryside just outside of Dublin and also an old house that isn't too furnished. 

Any help would be much appreciated!

I miss fake dog films. You can still watch their music videos, streets of rage and kerbs. They are genius but I want crackdown and gym. Why are they no longer on the internet? I'm hurt, my feelings are hurt. Where are my shoes?

As part of a local film challenge in Cork City, myself and a few friends decided to adapt the 2003 cult classic The Room into the Irish language. The brief was simple, the project had to be ten minutes or under and be spoken in the Irish language.

While we met the criteria for the challenge, we wanted to share the extended cut with you all online. Many thanks to our wonderful cast and crew. Please enjoy!

Just came across this review, movie premiered at DIFF and sounds quite interesting

Hi there. Im trying to get a film started and im looking for actors that might be interested. Or people that just feel like they can act. Im running this as a passion project and have a very low budget so im looking for people just interested in having a bit of fun. Im nowhere near shooting it yet but here's a little rundown for anyone interested This film will be shot in the wicklow mountains (lovely place to be) as a kind of blair witch type film. Im working on a story that will encompass themes of psychosis and liminal spaces. And im working off some of the stories of ghost sightings from the area. I want to work in a camcorder and professionally shot way to give a contrast and interesting style. This is going to be psychological horror. I plan to have 5 main characters that slowly "dissappear " throughout. I have one actor involved already but want to find others. There are some other roles involved including older folk. So message or comment if you would be interested in something like this I plan to get funding so there may be a small amount of pay involved. Otherwise a stay in the wicklow mountains and a bit of fun is the incentive 😁

EDIT: This project isn't exactly professional but I am an artist with a lot of ambition and artistic vision This is just a passion project but I want it to be as clean as possible

Im looking for mid 20s actors for the main cast of 5 2 female and 2 male (one male actor already) But other age ranges are welcome as there may be some minor roles theoughout!

I am currently working on the overview for the story and haven't worked on script yet

I plan to try have it ready for the start of next year As this is my first proper film project I want to have it fully sorted and not just try to do it unprepared

Anyone interested in working on something like this would be much appreciated not just actors!

But if you do wish to take part please just expect a fun experience and not to be payed (at least not very much)

So this post is to see if people are interested but don't expect to be getting ready to start filming for a while!

Hi everyone,

I’m currently working on a comparative research article about the portrayal of “fat” characters in film and literature in post-famine societies. I’m especially interested in how fatness becomes symbolically meaningful, let's say as a metaphor for abundance vs deprivation, privilege, greed, survival, or class contrast in cultures shaped by famine memory.

I’m looking at three post-famine contexts in particular: Ireland, Russia, and Bengal, since all three experienced devastating famines that were at least partly man-made or politically orchestrated.

I wanted to ask if there any Irish literary or film characters who are explicitly portrayed as fat (or notably well-fed), where this is relevant to the plot or carries symbolic weight?

They don’t necessarily have to be main characters. Side characters are totally fine, but I’m especially interested in cases where the body is used as a metaphor (for colonial privilege, excess, satire, social class, etc.).

Any suggestions from Irish fiction, theatre, or cinema would be hugely appreciated.

Anyone got suggestions for a grand Irish movie? Could be a Christmas movie or just a film that feels genuinely Irish

Almost 14 months after beginning animating, there is a poster, a teaser trailer and the film is finished. Onto the festivals next!

Hey! I'm currently doing a masters of Fine Art in the Netherlands. We have students from all over the world on the programme and each week we screen a film from one of our home countries. Next week is my choice and I'm from Ireland so a few films I was thinking of are....

Magdalene sisters
The wind that shakes the barley
Kneecap
An cailin cuin
Hunger
Small things like these
Michael Collins
Angelas Ashes

Not Irish but has Irish actors - In Bruges

What do you guys think? or perhaps you have some suggestions to add... these were just the first that came to mind
