ONE WEEK AFTER Ireland’s stellar performance in the Oscar nominations, we got a look at what’s promised for the big and small screen for 2023 from the Screen Ireland-funded stable.
“I’m delighted. All I want is as many people to see the film as possible,” he said about the Apple TV deal. “It’s an incredibly exciting time for Irish film. I’m thrilled to be part of Screen Ireland’s slate for 2023. Production is about to begin on my first feature film Kathleen. Only for Screen Ireland’s continued support over the last few years, my move from actor to director has been made possible, highlighting how critical it is for the industry that we have a national agency that can support talent through every stage of their career.
Looking at this year’s slate of forthcoming films, documentary, TV drama and TV animation, there are 44 projects crossing different genres and audiences. Altogether there are nine feature films, three animation series, eight TV dramas, 13 documentaries and seven short films. It said that TV drama production activity has particularly increased in the last number of years, which Screen Ireland said was “driven by a number of [its] targeted supports”.
