Exclusive: Growing Dublin-based distributor is inking deals for key local fare as well as sub-licensing for London-based distributors.
Irish distributor Wildcard Distribution has secured a wide and varied slate of forthcoming releases - including new projects from some of Ireland’s strongest emerging filmmakers.
Two crime-themed films, The Young Offenders and Cardboard Gangsters, which have completed production, will have their world premieres at the Galway Film Fleadh in July.
The Young Offenders is inspired by the bizarre case of Ireland’s biggest-ever drug seizure in 2007. The haul, off the coast of West Cork, took place after a boat capsized, leaving bales of cocaine floating in the water.
It fired the imagination of first-time feature director Peter Foott, whose film focuses on two Cork city teenagers who embark on a 160km road trip to steal some of the bales. The film will be released in Ireland this autumn.

The Many Things You Gave Me: Daly’s Icy, Perverse Sophomore Film
Unfit or disinterested mothers still seem to be taboo subjects, at least to center an entire narrative around. Often unhappy or unfulfilled creatures, they’re portrayed as the source of great pain or anguish to their nuclear familial units, their absence or failure used as explanation for the troubled lives of children. Irish director Rebecca Daly reunites with her co-writer Glenn Montgomery for her bleak sophomore effort Mammal and gives us an uncustomary narrative told entirely from the perspective of such a woman. Abrasive and unflinching, it’s a moderately perverse portrait of a woman jostled out of her stupor at a compelling crossroads after learning the son she abandoned eighteen years ago suddenly died. Featuring a stellar lead performance from Australian actress Rachel Griffiths, it’s a compelling character study of an intriguing misfit made all the...

Fresh off it’s premiere at the 2016 Sundance Film Festival, the first trailer for Rebecca Daly’s Mammal has come our way, promising a tremendous follow-up to her equally tremendous debut feature The Other Side of Sleep. Six Feet Under’s Rachel Griffiths stars as a woman coping with the loss of her son who develops an unorthodox relationship with a homeless youth (Barry Keogh). The first trailer is incredibly compelling, showcasing powerful performances from Griffiths, Keogh, and Michael McElhatton (Game of Thrones). Mammal reaches our shores later this year.

Rachel Griffiths has turned in many winning dramatic performances on the small screen, in successful shows like "Six Feet Under" and "Brothers & Sisters," and it looks like she's now about to conquer the big screen in a way she never has before. In Rebecca Daly's new drama "Mammal," which will have its world premiere in the World Drama Competition at the 2016 Sundance Film Festival, Griffiths stars as a grieving mother battling both her violent ex-husband (Michael McElhatton) and her interest in the homeless young man (Barry Keoghan) she meets at her local swimming pool. While that storyline alone suggests more than enough drama for its characters, the exclusive trailer above adds layers of sexual intrigue and seductive intensity. In what looks to be a twisted riff on the classic "Vertigo," Griffiths' Margaret begins molding the young man into a stand-in for her deceased child. Is she merely trying to be a.

Elisabeth Scharang’s Jack, Simon Jaquemet’s War (Chrieg) earmarked for local distribution.
German sales company Picture Tree International (Pti) is to expand into local theatrical distribution with two titles from its sales line-up: Swiss director Simon Jaquemet’s drama War (Chrieg) and Elisabeth Scharang’s Locarno debut Jack.
Picture Tree has set an April 28 release for War (Chrieg), which debuted at San Sebastian 2014 and screened at Berlin 2015, while Jack is set for release later in the year.
Speaking to ScreenDaily from Sundance at the weekend, Pti managing director Andreas Rothbauer discussed the push into local distribution.
“We initially want to gather some experience with a few of our sales titles provided they weren’t already licensed to a German distributor,” Rothbauer explained.
“World sales is our core business and, depending on this, we will decide which film might make sense for in-house distribution. However, as the German market is very competitive, I think that...

The Sundance Film institute has released the line-up of film for the 2016 Sundance Film Festival. Going to Sundance is one of my favorite events of the year. I love going because you never know what kind of movies you're going to see. Sometimes they are great films that amaze and entertain, other times they completely suck ass, but that's all part of the fun of going to the festival. It's an awesome experience for any hardcore movie geek, and if you ever get a chance to go, you need to.
The event takes place in Park City, Utah next year from January 21st to the 31st. It looks like there's a great line-up of movies at next year's event. My favorite portion of the event is the Midnight section because it deals more with geeky genre type movies, but I also enjoy the various sections of other line-ups.

Irish starlet Evanna Lynch recently skipped the pond to head to Los Angeles in hopes of expanding her film career. The Louth native is shacking up with cast members from the hit series ‘Glee’ while she’s in the States for about a month. “Los Angeles is not a kind place to everyone but she's been very sensible and she's sharing with a few people from Glee who she gets on with very well," an insider recently told the Herald.
