THE CRY OF GRANUAILE Trailer - 2023 Capital Irish Film Festival

THE CRY OF GRANUAILE
Q&A with director Dónal Foreman
In Irish filmmaker Dónal Foreman's (THE IMAGE YOU MISSED) surprising blend of road movie, psychodrama and fantasy, a grieving American filmmaker (Dale Dickey, A LOVE SONG, WINTER'S BONE) and her Irish assistant (Judith Roddy, DERRY GIRLS) tour the west of Ireland, researching a film about Granuaile, the legendary 16th-century rebel and "pirate queen." The two women develop an uneasy intimacy as they journey toward a remote Atlantic island, as boundaries begin to blur between past and present, myth and history, dream and reality. THE CRY OF GRANUAILE is a genre-defying treat, shot on 16mm film, with Romanian cinematographer Diana Vidrascu picking out extraordinary images that simultaneously defy and appease the tourist's view of Ireland.
