NYT Critics’ Pick

What would you do if society suddenly collapsed?

Set in a world upended by a complete breakdown of society, two couples hide out in a lakeside cabin hoping to survive the crisis. As resources run low and external threats increase, they forge an uneasy alliance with their self-sufficient hippie neighbor. With no news from the outside world they don’t know how long they must endure living in such close quarters, and with such limited supplies.

The Bass Player: A Song for Dad
2009, 62 minutes

Written and Directed by Niall McKay

“Masterfully Told.” – THE IRISH TIMES

Emmy-winning filmmaker Niall McKay's charming and witty homage to his father takes us on a journey from the depth of depression to the heights of new beginnings, marriage proposals, and homecomings. The story explores Niall’s relationship with his father Jim, a bass playing jazz musician, who in the 1970s raised his two young sons on his own in Dublin. Masterfully told, beautifully shot, and scored by Jim’s jazz music, The Bass Player questions what it means to be a son, a husband and a father.

Book Smugglers
2010, 73 minutes

Written and Directed by Jeremiah Cullinane

NY Premiere

An Irish language poet travels to Lithuania to tell the story of the 19th century book smugglers, who risked their lives to protect their language against Russification by smuggling books, newspapers and magazines into the country from Prussia and distributing them along clandestine networks. In doing so, the poet is forced to reflect on the decline of his own language, and the relationship between the language we speak and our national and personal identity.

Book Smugglers recently won the Silver Crane Award for Best Cinematography in the 2011 Lithuanian National Film & Television Awards.

Written and Directed by Marian Quinn

"Irish artists at the top of their game" – THE IRISH TIMES

13-year-old Maeve Brennan is trying to make sense of everything all at once – bodies, boys, friendships and family. After casting many envious glances at other women’s busts (even the nuns’), Maeve finally gets her first bra, size 32A, but no one expects her to get the local heartthrob. Marian Quinn’s coming-of-age comedy drama has multiple awards under its belt and features Aidan Quinn and Jared Harris.
