The Restoration at Grayson Manor

Uneasy expectations shake the foundations of Grayson Manor.

Boyd Grayson and his mother, Jacqueline, reluctantly share their sprawling family estate—a mansion that feels more like a gilded cage than a home. After a devastating accident, Jacqueline spares no expense on her son's rehabilitation, transforming an entire wing of the house into a state-of-the-art recovery ward. But beneath her generosity lies a single expectation: an heir to continue the Grayson legacy. Boyd, however, has other plans. Welcome to the standoff between mother and son.

Competing in the FAI Cup for the first time should have been amateur Irish football club St Peter’s United’s finest hour, but when blundering assistant manager Fran Costello learns that some of his players have taken a bribe to fix the match, he realises it’s time to unleash his inner detective to expose the fraudsters!

Fran’s life is further complicated by a slow-burning infatuation with Jackie Charlton – the mothers of one of his young players. For someone who has used football to shy away from life, Fran is being catapulted headfirst into all it has to offer.

Saipan

Saipan explores the intense, complex rivalry between Roy Keane and Mick McCarthy, which exploded onto the global stage in the lead-up to the 2002 FIFA World Cup.

Keane’s eleventh-hour departure from the Ireland squad turned the eyes of the world onto the tiny island of Saipan. With the nation’s hopes resting on Ireland’s talismanic midfielder, a public outcry followed, even prompting the Taoiseach to intervene. But this feud transcended football—it was a deeply personal battle of pride, standards, and animosity.

The Walsh Sisters

Set in suburban Dublin, The Walsh Sisters follows the lives of Claire, Rachel, Maggie, Anna and Helen as they navigate the peaks and troughs of early adulthood.

Forced back home for different reasons, theirs is a sisterhood full of inexhaustible in-jokes, hand-me-down resentments and a few old wounds. Their DNA, history and shared love of power ballads keeps the Walsh sisters together in the face of heartbreak, grief, addiction, and parenthood.

The Walsh Sisters is a comedy about serious things – it is a pacey, brutally honest and uncompromisingly funny expose of the realities of being an Irish woman, but more importantly, an Irish sister.

Blue Road - The Edna O'Brien Story

In 1960, Edna O’Brien published her first novel, the sexually frank The Country Girls. She quickly became an international literary sensation but her success enraged her husband and made her a pariah in her native Ireland.

Exiled in London O’Brien continued to thrive as a committed writer with a private life that intrigued. Before her death in 2024, she spoke with filmmaker Sinéad O’Shea. Forthright and out-spoken she did not shy from any subject in her final revealing testimony. Narrated by Jessie Buckley, the Blue Road is as enchanting and dark as O’Brien’s own writing.

Emerging as a powerful community response to the Pulse nightclub massacre in 2016, this film takes us to the front lines of the American gun violence epidemic.

Testimony

The experiences of Magdalene women and the children born in Mother & Baby Homes might still be shrouded in secrecy, if not for the work of Justice For Magdalenes, an organisation who have waged an extraordinary campaign on behalf of the survivors of Irish institutions.

From early investigations into exhumations at High Park Magdalene Laundry, to revealing the complicity of the State, this film charts the key legal and political battles of these determined activists. From addressing the United Nations to holding the Irish government to account, they ensured that the abuse of survivors will never be forgotten.

Sanatorium

Despite a war raging close by, mud treatments and electroshock therapies continue at Kuyalnik Sanatorium, an enormous 1970s brutalist building on the shores of Odessa, where a small group search for love, healing, and happiness.

People of all ages come in their thousands each summer for the Soviet-style therapeutic and wellness treatments on offer. The biggest attraction here is the mysterious mud - which is strongly believed to cure infertility, chronic ailments, and a myriad of other health problems. Following the stories of guests and staff over a summer season like no other, the film goes beyond the sanatorium’s pink and lime green corridors, to follow an assorted group of strangers, each seeking respite from their daily realities and in search of a better life for themselves.
