Last week on All Hallowsโ€™ Eve, Conveyance screened at the fantastic Bradford International Film Festival. I met some lovely, talented filmmakers & creatives, caught a few spooky shorts, and listened to really inspiring talks. Thanks so much to the festival team and Ardan!

What better way to get terrified than to sit with a bunch of strangers in the dark & watch the imagined horrors of fellow warped creative minds? It was LOVELY heading up north to do just that. Thank you to the gorgeous team at the Belfast International Horror Festival.

Alan O'Gorman's writing in Christy is warm, empathetic, funny & so well observed. He's a principled artist with a lot to say, so make sure to listen to our Film Ireland chat with him here, and then get to see this brilliant Cork film while it's still in cinemas!

If anyoneโ€™s planning to go to the cinema this weekend, make it your business to see Sanatorium. Fingers crossed it will represent us at the Oscars - and honestly, itโ€™s just a truly gorgeous film. And cinematic.

I was singing its praises on Arena last week:

This was a very different Film Ireland podcast, looking back at an iconic moment of Irish film history. A film with themes very relevant to today, have a listen as we turn the clocks back to 1970s Dublin, and revisit Quackser Fortune Has a Cousin in the Bronx.

Meanwhile our supremely talented producer Maeve McGrath spoke with IFTN about the film, her production company and the brilliant work she's doing for the industry.

All-round deadly women, the pair of them.
