A number of Ardmore Sound posted feature films will screen at this years Cork Film Festival, which kicked off last weekend.
Running from the 6th to 15th November across four venues, ’11 Minutes’, 'The Hallow', 'Brand New-U', 'Moscow Never Sleeps' and 'The Great Wall' will play alongside a terrific lineup of Irish and international films screening at this years event.
THE HALLOW
The debut feature film from Corin Hardy, The Hallow was produced by Joe Neurauter and Felipe Marino for Occupant Entertainment, with Fantastic Films as Irish co-producers. The film tells the story of a London-based conservationist who moves to Ireland with his wife and infant child. While surveying an area of forest believed to be hallowed ground by superstitious locals, his actions unwittingly disturb a horde of demonic creatures who prey upon the lost. Alone and deep within the darkness of the remote wilderness, he must now fight back to protect his family.

THE GREAT WALL
Tadhg O’Sullivan’s The Great Wall looks at the enclosure of Europe by a system of walls and fences and captures the life of those on the perimeter.
Borrowing its title from Kafka’s short story about the building of the Great Wall of China, 'O’Sullivan brilliantly uses fragments of that story to overlay his mysterious and dazzling images, offering a piercing critique of the structures of power and exclusion at work inside and outside Europe and encountering those whose lives are defined by these walls – detainees in European migrant camps.'
Mixed on The Main Stage here at Ardmore Sound, Steve Fanagan was the Sound Re-recording Mixer.
Steve Fanagan will appear alongside Niall Brady at this years festival where they will speak at the 'Listen' seminar, which focuses on the aural side of the film-making process. Steve and Niall will deconstruct audio from key scenes of Lenny Abrahamson’s Frank (Sound posted here at Ardmore) at the event.
