THE PIPE
THE PIPE is a compelling documentary of Rossport's struggle against the economic might of Shell and the tragic divisions that have split a once-peaceful and close knit community. The film captures the anxiety, anger and disillusionment of years of conflict as well as their passionate connection to the local environment, and the spirit, humour and heroism that sustains them. THE PIPE received an Honourable Mention from the IDFA Green Screen Jury and was officially selected for the London, Toronto and Palm Springs International film festivals and will screen in the Culinary Program of the Berlinale next week. It has also been nominated for the Cinemas For Peace Awards in Berlin which highlights the human condition and human values. Produced by Rachel Lysaght for Scannáin Inbhear, it was financed by BSÉ/IFB and TG4.
CORP & ANAM
Set in contemporary Ireland, CORP & ANAM tells the story of TV crime correspondent Cathal Mac Iarnáin who prides himself on pursuing the story behind the story. In four hard-hitting episodes that explore the many ills of contemporary Irish society, Mac Iarnáin pursues stories of health service neglect, internet paedophilia, boy-racer recklessness and police corruption. But he is too busy chasing stories to notice that the world of crime is coming closer to home every day. Suite in Éirinn an lae inniu, insíonn CORP & ANAM scéal an chomhfhreagraí choireachta theilifíse Cathal Mac Iarnáin, atá mórálach as an scéal taobh thiar den scéal á lorg. I gceithre chlár díreacha a fhiosraíonn an líon mór drochrudaí atá sa tsochaí Éireannach, téann Mac Iarnáin ar thóir scéalta a bhaineann le faillí sa tseirbhís sláinte, péidifilia ar an idirlíon, meargántacht na rásaithe-carr óga, agus éilliú na ngardaí. Ach, tá sé ró-ghnóthach ag dul ar thóir scéalta le haithint go bhfuil saol na coireachta ag druidim air de réir a chéile.
Starring Diarmuid de Faoite (Padraic) and Maria Doyle Kennedy (The Tudors), the drama was produced by Paddy Hayes for Magamedia. It was shot in Galway last summer over eight weeks and was funded by BSÉ/IFB, BAI and TG4.
