John Ford: Dreaming the Quiet Man
Director
Idealizando Depois do Vendaval, (1952), inclui entrevistas com a sempre linda Maureen O'Hara e com aficionados de John Ford: Martin Scorsese, Peter Bogdanovich, Jim Sheridan, William Dowling e Joe McBride. Temos um arquivo hipnótico e fotografias raras da produção do filme. A principal locação de filmagens do documentário é sua terra ancestral, a Connemara, na costa oeste da Irlanda, onde seus pais nasceram. Vamos conhecer os primos de Ford, os Feeney, que contam a história da partida dos pais da Ford da Irlanda após a Grande Fome e a visita do jovem Ford à Irlanda em 1922 para ver seus primos, os Thornton, e ver a casa sendo incendiada pelos infames Black and Tans. Ford, sob o pretexto de procurar locais para um filme, deu dinheiro ao IRA. Nós viajamos para Portland Maine, onde Ford cresceu e se tornou um diretor da primeira geração de Hollywood. O menino fez sucesso, mas a Irlanda estava sempre em sua mente. (e Livre - Estimado Livre)

Alive Alive O: A Requiem for Dublin
Director
Alive Alive O – A Requiem for Dublin chronicles the heroes and the ever-changing heart of Dublin over a seven-year period. During this time, Merry Doyle’s lens captures the colourful characters of the city by focusing on Dublin street traders and their daily hustle and bustle. This invaluable record of vanished communities also depicts a city fighting to retain its soul in the midst of boom-time redevelopment. A young U2 play a benefit concert on Sheriff Street, maverick politician Tony Gregory fights the closure of Moore Street market and Dubliners (many of whom have since passed away) recall memories of a different city.
