- This documentary tells the unique story behind Roger Corman's film studio in Connemara. When Corman arrived in Ireland, he brought with him an unrivalled career, which guaranteed him a place in cinema history. This was the man who launched the cinematic careers of Coppola, Scorsese, Nicholson and De Niro. The name 'Corman' meant low budget, but it also meant cult, and crucially, it meant fun. He was never concerned with awards or creating anything of aesthetic value. Instead, he churned out cheap exploitation flicks in the 50's, which quickly established Corman as a producer and director who gave the audience what they wanted. His Irish films were designed to do just that. By the 90's, Corman had set his sights on Ireland. His time making movies in Connemara would be marred by controversy as he managed to upset the unions and the tastes of cinephiles. But, those who worked for him adored the experience. Corman gave them an opportunity to learn the film industry and a chance to progress through the film making ranks. He helped to launch many production careers in Ireland and there are many who credit him with their success. The Corman Connemara Studios employed hundreds of people throughout its few years in production and released almost 20 feature films, all shot in Connemara by Irish crews with Irish actors. Yet, the story of the studios and the movies Corman made there has never been told. With unique access to Corman and his archive of Irish films, along with behind the scenes footage and stills, as well as interviews with many of the cast and crew who worked at Concorde Anois, this documentary tells the whole story of what came from Connemara during those five gloriously gruesome years.

- On the 14th of December 1940, five hundred Irish citizens interned without trial rioted in their prison camp, burning a large part of it to the ground. The Irish government crushed the insurrection without mercy. It was the last battle of the Irish Civil War. In the summer of 1940, a hastily built internment camp on the Curragh of Kildare (better known for horse-racing) opened its gates to receive the first of over a thousand Irishmen. For the next six years, they were held here without trial, suppressed and completely isolated from society. 'Tintown' is the story of the last bizarre battle of a civil war as the Irish Republican Army was crushed by their former comrades and destroyed by internal conflict. It is a poignant account of Ireland's forgotten gulag, told by its former inmates and their guards. Their story is illustrated with colour film from the period and confidential documents from the Military archives. The Southern Irish government rounded up the IRA because they were a threat to neutrality by their efforts to collaborate with the Nazis and destabilize the Free State. An ill-thought out attempt to escape by setting fire to the camp backfired when their network of escape tunnels was discovered. When a second attempt to tunnel out failed, and a 50 day hunger strike left the Government unmoved, morale was broken. Hundreds left the IRA and by the time the camp closed in 1946, there was no IRA. In an adjoining camp, the Allied and German internees lived the life of Reilly, allowed to leave the camp on parole to attend dances, spend the pay forwarded from Berlin and London on drink and women. They had free passes to attend the races at the Curragh, and enjoyed life so much that when the day of release came, some tried to hide to avoid going home. The Irish government was satisfied that they had won. The Minister for Justice, Gerald Boland said: The IRA is dead and I killed it.
