‘The Last Days of Peter Bergmann’ wins Grand Jury Prize at Nashville
22 Apr 2014 : Deirdre Molumby
‘The Last Days of Peter Bergmann’ has won the Grand Jury Prize at this year’s Nashville Film Festival. The win now means that the film can qualify for the Oscars. The 19 minute long doc is produced by Morgan Bushe through Fastnet and is written and directed by Ciaran Cassidy.

The documentary recently won the IFTA for Best Short at this month’s ceremony, beating tough competition which included multi award-winning ‘The Missing Scarf’, ‘Rúbaí’ and ‘SLR’. The film has been selected to screen in Paris at the Panorama of the Golden Nights, which is organised by the French Academy of Cinema - Académie des César.

‘The Last Days of Peter Bergmann’ is the true story of a man called Peter Bergmann who, in 2009, moved to Sligo town claiming he was from Austria. Over the last three days of his life, Bergmann went to great lengths to ensure that nobody knows who he is. The documentary received funding from the Irish Film Board.

The film is having a successful festival run, so far it has screened at the Sundance Film Festival, True/False Film Festival and Stranger than Fiction where it picked up the Audience Award. This weekend, the film will have its UK premiere at Sundance London. Last night, the short documentary screened as part of the Arizona International Film Festival.

Kate McCullough was DoP for the short while John Murphy was editor. Sound was by Guillaume Beauron and music by Jack Quilligan and David Cantan. Colum McKeown was researcher for the doc and Aoife McGonigal was production manager.
