Crankie Island Song Project
An artistic archive of stories and songs from Ireland’s rich musical tradition. Celebrated singer Cathy Jordan, of traditional powerhouse Dervish, brings these tales to life with music, sound, and visuals, preserving them for future generations. Using a ‘crankie box’—a unique storytelling device with scrolling illustrations—this project beautifully marries song and art.

Birdsong
Meet Seán Ronayne. He’s a man on a mission. He’s set himself the task to record the song of every bird species in Ireland - nearly 200 of them. At once inspiring and cautionary, Seán’s journey illustrates the beauty and importance of sound, and what listening can tell us about the state of our natural world.

The Irish Wedding
Who doesn’t love a wedding? Hankies at the ready for this warm celebration of the joys of the Irish wedding in all its predictability - the nerves, the dress, the speeches, beef or salmon, losing the rings, the first kiss. Following a number of couples, Director Alex Fegan’s faith in humanity shines in this display of all that is familiar and celebrates the huge diversity of Irish citizenry.

Housewife of the Year
We travel back to a very different time when Gay Byrne quizzed female TV Show contestants about motherhood, marriage and housework as they competed for the accolade ‘Housewife of the Year.’ Funny, sweet and shocking, this winner of Galway Film Festival 2024 Best Irish Documentary, will have you counting your lucky stars.

Small Things Like These
Tim Mielant's elegant adaptation of Claire Keegan's 2021 unsettling historical novel, which centres around the horrors of the Magdalene Laundries in Ireland.

Oddity
A psychic medium attempts to uncover the truth behind her sister's murder at the site of the crime.

Boys From County Hell
Strange events unfold in Six Mile Hill – a sleepy Irish town that claims to have been travelled by the famed author Bram Stoker – when construction on a new road disrupts the alleged grave of Abhartach, a legendary Irish vampire said to have inspired Dracula. We love Irish horror comedies, and this one is a zinger - director Chris Baugh's vampire/folklore caper is bloody good craic - we'd stake our reputation on it!
