Irish Films To Premiere At TIFF
Two Irish productions are to receive their world premieres at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) next month.
'Without Name' is written by Garrett Shanley, produced by Brunella Cocchiglia and directed by Lorcan Finnegan. It is produced as part of the Bord Scannán na hÉireann/the Irish Film Board (IFB) initiative Catalyst Project, and stars Alan McKenna and Niamh Algar. It follows a land surveyor who loses his reason in a supernatural environment that defies all boundaries.
The film will screen as part of the Vanguard section at the festival, which focuses on emerging directors and auteurs of the future.
The second film, 'Forever Pure', is produced by Alan Maher at Roads Entertainment and directed by Maya Zinshtein. It tells the story of Jerusalem's Beitar football club which became a flashpoint for controversy in 2012 when the signing of two Muslim players brought down the racist wrath of the team's long-time fans.
Lorcan Finnegan said: "We are delighted to be unleashing 'Without Name' into the world at TIFF, especially in the Vanguard program. I am a fan of many of the films that have screened in the same program in the past and very much look forward to the audience reaction to our film. It will definitely take them to a place they haven't been before, to a place Without Name."
