Galway Film Fleadh Awards 2014

On Sunday 13th July, the 26th Galway Film Fleadh came to a close, following another outstanding year of Irish and international film premieres, screenings, workshops and discussions. The annual awards ceremony, which took place before the screening of closing film ‘An Bronntanas’, was attended by its stars John Finn and Dara Devaney, and director Tom Collins (‘Kings’).

The Galway Hooker Awards were presented to actress Brenda Fricker (‘My Left Foot’, ‘Casualty’) and to animation studio Brown Bag Films (‘Peter Rabbit’, ‘Granny O’Grimm’s Sleeping Beauty’).

Brenda captivated an audience with an engaging public interview with Sean Rocks at the Town Hall, and received a rapturous ovation from the crowd, followed by a screening of her latest film, ‘A Long Way from Home’, attended by the director Virginia Gilbert.

The founding duo of the animation powerhouse Brown Bag Films were the subject of this year’s Irish Tribute at the Fleadh in recognition of their success as Irish animators on the international stage, including such successes as ‘Doc McStuffins’ and two Oscar-nominated shorts. They were presented with the award at Sunday’s ceremony after a retrospective of their work and a workshop with young animators on Saturday.

The highly coveted Best Irish Feature award was presented by Gale Wilson and shared between Gerard Barrett’s (‘Pilgrim Hill’) latest feature ‘Glassland’, the premiere for which lead actors Jack Reynor and Will Poulter were in attendance, and ‘Patrick’s Day’ from director Terry McMahon (‘Charlie Casanova’). Second place was awarded to ‘Noble’, a biopic from Stephen Bradley starring Deirdre O’Kane.

The Best Irish Feature Documentary prize also had two winners – ‘Blood Fruit’, directed by Sinéad O’Brien and produced by Noel Pearson, and ‘One Million Dubliners’, directed by Aiofe Kelleher and produced by Rachel Lysaght. Second place for the category was awarded to ‘A City Dreaming’, which was directed by Mark McCauley and produced by Chris Martin and Andrew Eaton.

The Galway Film Fleadh is also unique in that since 2011, the Fleadh has been recognised as a qualifying festival for the Academy Awards Short Film categories. Recipients of the James Gorgan Award for Best Animation and the Tiernan MacBride Award for Best Short Drama will qualify for consideration.

This year ‘Fresh Cut Grass’ from director Robert Cullen and producers Anne Tweedy and Peter Lewis, with a special mention to Sarah Walsh’s ‘Marrying the Sea’, won the award for Best Animation. Director Dave Tynan and producer Michael Donnelly won the Best Short Drama prize for their short ‘Rockmount’ while ‘Boogaloo & Graham’ was given special mention. ‘Fresh Cut Grass’ and ‘Rockmount’ will therefore go forward to be considered for an Oscar nomination.

The Bingham New Talent Award is presented to one of outstanding new talent in the area of film production, acting and directing. This year’s winner was AnneMarie Naughton, producer for Irish horror ‘The Canal’, while the other nominees were actor Moe Dunford for ‘Patrick’s Day’, director Niall Heery for ‘Gold’, actor Dara Devaney for ‘An Bronntanas’ and actress Tara Breathnach for ‘A Nightingale Falling.’
