New Irish Film, Cellar Door, Released Nationwide Today
Posted: 25th January 2019
The sophmore feature from director, Viko Nikci, Cellar Door opens in Irish cinemas today, 25 January.
Racing from young love to tortured loss and back again this story follows Aidie, a fighter inside and out, as she searches for her son while in the grip of the Church.
With a unique point of view on a familiar trauma, Cellar Door cuts deep into the character’s experience in an exploration of love regained and loss relived.
The film has already received praise, following its world premiere at the 2018 Galway Film Fleadh, with RTÉ calling it "a challenging but rewarding cinematic experience" and The Irish Times noting that the "spooky cinematography adds to the otherworldliness."
The film is written and directed by Viko Nikci with David Collins producing for Samson Films alongside Nikci. Cellar Door stars Karen Hassan, Catherine Walker and Mark O'Halloran. The film was supported by Fís Éireann/Screen Ireland.
