I went to see Saipan again last night & it is great to see Irish cinema maturing, dealing with the complex nature of Irishness while still being incredibly entertaining. But it's also about youth V middle age & the perils of being stubborn, young & ambitious. Opens in Ireland soon, buy a ticket!

So apart from being very talented my brother David is very brave. While his film Eternity was being wrapped up he had a very serious diagnosis and he has written about it here time.com/7339094/eter...
Me, My Film, and My Massive Brain Tumor
David Freyne directed and co-wrote a film about death. Then, he learned he had a brain tumor the size of an apple.

Listening to Paul is pretty good advice generally but specifically so here. Go see Saipan when it’s out. Advance tickets on sale now.
SAIPAN, Glenn Leyburn & Lisa Barros d'Sa's new movie, feels very much to me like a follow-up to their Good Vibrations in its focus on someone who is more interested in being themselves than being successful, even if - as in this case - it means missing out on playing in the World Cup.

The IFI is doing a Margo Harkin retrospective season all throughout Sept.
Margo has long been one of Irelands most important and influential filmmakers & this season is a rare opportunity to see her most vital works.
