Listening to Paul is pretty good advice generally but specifically so here. Go see Saipan when it’s out. Advance tickets on sale now.
SAIPAN, Glenn Leyburn & Lisa Barros d'Sa's new movie, feels very much to me like a follow-up to their Good Vibrations in its focus on someone who is more interested in being themselves than being successful, even if - as in this case - it means missing out on playing in the World Cup.

If anyone’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, it’s just a truly gorgeous film. And cinematic.

Aislinn Clarke’s new film is everything I’ve always wanted in a folk horror. It’s truly terrifying and also looks absolutely stunning. Make sure to see it in a cinema. #fréwaka demands a big screen.

So terribly sad to hear this awful news. I was honoured to work with Martha on ‘Stolen’ just two years ago. She was a wonderful producer and a lovely person. My sympathies to all her family and friends.
It is with deep regret that we mourn the passing of Martha O’Neill, wife of Druid’s Artistic Director Garry Hynes.
