Wedded to the land? Representations of rural ageing masculinities in Irish culture and society
This article explores the interactions between social constructions and cultural representations of rural ageing masculinities in Ireland. Constructions of Irish masculinities have historically been linked to rural, farming identities emphasising physicality, self-reliance, patrilineal inheritance and traditional (Catholic) family values. Central to such constructions in many classic works of Irish literature, drama and film has been the powerful…

Sometimes, even an annual review feels like it might be too frequent, especially if its subject is an industry wherein the activity often fails to resolve itself within neat 12 months intervals. The policies put in place to incentivise production and the broader development of the screen sector in Ireland operate across five year horizons
Irish Film and Television – 2018
Introduction. Fin de Cinema? The Irish Screen Sector in 2018. In July 2018, the Irish Film Board announced that it was changing its name to Screen Ireland. It was done with relatively little fanfare or media attention and indeed still has to fully work through: as late as January 2019 Irish films were being simultaneously released

I’m not a big fan of Irish movies, I don’t find them to be technically that accomplished and I don’t find them that intelligent. So I’m trying to get away from the description of the movie as an Irish film in a way. John Michael McDonagh, 2014 When John

Irish Film and Television -2012
Introduction At the Galway Film Fleadh 2012, young Irish film-maker Mark O’Connor released a ‘manifesto’ entitled: ‘Irish Cinema: A Call to Arms.’ While the idea of a manifesto seems almost quaint, a hangover from cinema history of the celluloid era, O’Connor’s short document offers an interesting perspective from which to consider developments in the Irish Film
Irish Film and Television – 2011
Introduction On March 10 2012, The Irish Times reported that Ardmore Studios, the facility which since 1958 has in one way or another symbolized the attempt to establish a film industry in Ireland, faced closure owing to a lack of activity at the studio. Ardmore has faced “The End” before: in 1963, 1967, 1973 and 1982
Irish Film and Television – 2010
Introduction In 2010 Ireland’s reputation as a modern, progressive economy reached a nadir unimaginable even a year ago. Over the past twelve months, increasingly negative assessments of the country’s political and economic acumen became commonplace in the national and then international media. ((The most recent example of which is the Vanity Fair (March 2011) article ‘When

At the launch of the 2008 annual Irish Film Board Review — complete with flowing wine, a lavish publication and complementary DVD compilation (Irish Talent on Film Vol. V) — CEO Simon Perry, still recalling the success of Once — stated that there had never been a better time for Irish cinema. There had
Irish Film and Television Review – 2008
The fortunes of Irish cinema took a paradoxical turn in 2008. Years of economic boom turned to bust and with it went long-held ambitions for a sustained period of cinematic creativity and even greatness. For most of a century the emergence — and then development — of Irish cinema had seemed stymied
Irish Film and Television -2006
Introduction This year's review of the year in Irish film and television is slender by comparison to 2005, reflecting the dearth of new productions, ongoing difficulties in distribution and the still unpredictable nature of the sector despite more than a decade of sustained infrastructural support. Six Irish films received a domestic release during the year: The Wind
Irish Cinema – 2005
On being invited to contribute to Estudios Irlandeses with a reflection on film and television output in the year gone past, I felt that, rather than authoring a single overview, it would be useful to invite colleagues in Ireland to contribute to such an enterprise, on topics chosen by them. Partly this had to do
