Fni Wrap Chat

We'd like to take a moment to mark the sad passing of two members of the Film and TV Community who tragically passed away in the last couple of weeks. Donal Courtney,  a wonderful actor, director and facilitator at the age of 52 and the marvel that was Michelle Forde, writer, producer and artist. Taken too soon after a brave battle with cancer at the young age of 38. Our deepest sympathies to all their loved ones.  On the show this time around is write/director, Colm Bairèad. Director of the stunninf  “An Cailín Ciúin." Still in cinemas and packing them in around the country. Go see it! Colm was born in Dublin and raised bilingually through Irish and English. Over the past fifteen years he has directed a number of multi-award-winning short films and many hours of documentary television for RTÉ, TG4 and TV3/Virgin Media. These include the four-part IFTA-nominated series The Joy (TV3), the award-winning feature-length drama documentary The Maamtrasna Murders (TG4), the IFTA award-winning docudrama Cumann na
