Exclusive: New Europe Film Sales has boarded international sales on Northern Irish director Aislinn Clarke’s second feature Fréwaka ahead of the AFM, where it will unveil first footage.
The Irish and English-language production follows Clarke’s 2018 found footage horror The Devil’s Doorway, which was acquired by IFC for the U.S.
Billed as the first ever Irish-language horror, Fréwaka revolves around care worker Shoo, who is haunted by a personal tragedy.
Shoo is sent to a remote village to care for an agoraphobic woman, who fears both the neighbors and the Na Sídhe – sinister folkloric entities she believes abducted her decades before.
As the pair develop a deep connection, Shoo becomes consumed by the old woman’s paranoia, rituals, and superstitions, eventually confronting the horrors from her own past.
The title originates from the Irish word “fréamhacha”, meaning roots that are entwined underground.
The cast features Clare Monnelly (Moone...

The Banshees of Inisherin is an excellent film written and directed by Martin McDonagh. It is starred by Colin Farrell, Brendan Gleeson and Kerry Condon.
You need to be blind to not notice it: this is an absolutely special movie. It is noteworthy from the very first frame in everything.
Storyline
Pádraic gets up in the morning like he does every day to visit his friend Colm. But this day there is a problem and it is that Colm, for no real reason, no longer wants to be Pádraic´s friend.
Movie Review The Banshees of Inisherin (2022)
A film in the flavor of John Ford, quality filming in each frame, composition, very studied photography, elaborated narrative and devoted acting that is outstanding in the two leading roles.
But the film has a character that does not appear: Martin McDonagh, who is outstanding as he was in Three Billboards Outside Ebbing...

"The mighty hurling hound!" Juno Films has revealed an official US trailer for an indie drama from Ireland titled Róise & Frank, arriving in the US for viewing at the end of March in 2023. This dog movie is about a woman who believes her dog is her dead husband. A widow who has given up on life becomes convinced that a stray dog is the reincarnation of her Hurling-loving husband. "He has come back to be with her again… and to coach the local sports team." Ha. Bríd Ní Neachtain stars as Róise, with Cillian O'Gairbhi, Lorcan Cranitch, Ruadhán de Faoite, and Michelle Beamish. This looks really sweet and wholesome, the dog looks entirely convincing in a realistic way where I can't tell if he really is her dead husband or just a very friendly pooch. I think I need to watch this film! Early reviews are all positive so far.

This Irish-language comedy has a touch of the supernatural in its warm story about a grieving widow and a stray dog
You’d need a shard of ice in your heart not to be charmed even just a little by this eccentric Irish-language comedy: a warm-hearted tale about a woman who believes that a stray dog is the reincarnation of her dead husband. It’s a family film, though I suspect teenagers – and the smutty-minded (I confess to being one of them) – will smirk at the one-woman-and-her-dog bedroom scenes.
Bríd Ní Neachtain plays Róise: a widow who, two years on from the death of her husband, is still struggling to get out of bed each morning. Then, one day, a lurcher-terrier cross (fine mutt acting by Barley the dog) turns up on her doorstep. He seems to know things about her late husband, Frank: his favourite chair, the route of his morning walk.
