Fís Éireann/Screen Ireland is delighted to congratulate the filmmaking teams behind Irish documentary All About The Money, and Irish co-production How To Divorce During The War on their official selection to the 2026 Sundance Film Festival. Both projects are proudly supported by Screen Ireland.
Keith Potter, Head of Feature Film at Screen Ireland, said:
"We are delighted to congratulate the creative teams behind Irish documentary All About the Money, and Irish creative co-production How To Divorce During The War, both proudly supported by Screen Ireland. The Sundance Film Festival continues to be a strong launchpad for Irish stories on screen, showcasing great work to the international market and film audiences alike. Our best wishes go to all of the Irish filmmaking teams bringing their projects to Park City in January."
Screening in the World Cinema Documentary Competition at the festival, All About The Money is directed by acclaimed Irish documentary maker Sinéad O'Shea. As a means of disrupting the capitalist system he grew up in - but has now come to despise, a son of one of America's wealthiest families creates a communist revolutionary base in rural Massachusetts. It's the starting point of an astonishing journey. All About The Money is produced by Claire McCabe, Sinead O'Shea and Katie Holly for SOS Productions, and by Harry Vaughn and Sigrid Dyekjær for Real Lava. The film is supported by Screen Ireland, Inevitable Pictures and Real Lava.
Screening in the World Cinema Dramatic Competition, Divorce During The War is an Irish/Lithuanian/Luxembourg/Czech co-production, directed by Andrius Blaževičius. In Vilnius in 2022, Marija has a revelation that she wants to divorce her husband, Vytas, right before Russia invades Ukraine. Forced to confront their crumbling relationship, they navigate the process of divorce as it collides with the ongoing war. The film is produced by Marija Razgutė for M-Films and by Jessie Fisk for Irish production company Feline Films.
Sundance is renowned for its recognition of new filmmaking voices and its competitive selection process, and the festival has acted as a powerful platform for Irish film in previous years, including Kneecap (2024), which became the first ever Irish language film to win an award at the festival, John Carney's Flora and Son and Sinead O’Connor documentary Nothing Compares (2022).
The 2026 Sundance Film Festivall will take place in Park City, Utah from January 22nd to February 1st.
