IFTA-winning documentary ‘In A House That Ceased To Be’ will air on RTÉ One on Monday, June 8th at 9.35pm.
Directed by Ciarín Scott (‘Michael Scott: A Changing Man’) – the film was five years in the making and documents Irish humanitarian and children's rights activist Christina Noble, juxtaposing shots of her fantastic work with children in Vietnam and Mongolia with interviews where she talks very openly about her own childhood, one that saw her separated from her three younger siblings at the age of 12, with all four going on to suffer greatly in various institutions around the country.
The Atlantic Film Alliance documentary was co-produced by Paul Duane and Rex Bloomstein and was shot by Steve O’Reilly and edited by Tony Cranstoun. It had its World Premiere at the Irish Film Institute (IFI) in Dublin last September, as part of the Stranger Than Fiction documentary festival, where it won the audience award.
‘In A House That Ceased To Be’ also got an Irish cinema release earlier this year – and garnered positive reviews from publications such as The Irish Times who wrote that “it’s hard to imagine that we will see a more moving film this year.”
The film subsequently went on to win the George Morrison Feature Documentary Award at the IFTA Film & Drama Awards last month.
