Ethan Hawke in Dublin with Director Aisling Walsh for IFTA ‘Maudie’ event
27 Jul 2017 :
The Irish Film & Television Academy (IFTA) will host a much anticipated Screening and Q&A of ‘Maudie’ with 4 time Oscar Nominee Ethan Hawke (Boyhood, Training Day, Gattaca) and award winning Irish director Aisling Walsh (Song for a Raggy Boy, Fingersmith, Wallander) on Saturday 5th August in Dublin.

The pair will attend the Irish Academy Screening of their new film ‘Maudie’ which goes on general release in Ireland on Friday 4th August, and will participate in a post screening discussion about the film. ‘Maudie’, directed by Walsh, has Hawke starring alongside Sally Hawkins. The film premiered at the Telluride Film Festival and has received rave reviews from audiences and critics alike across many festival screenings from Toronto, to Berlin to Edinburgh.

“The film is richly layered, deeply felt. From the creative genius of Aisling Walsh. Ethan Hawke as we’ve rarely seen him” - Thelma Adams, The New York Observer

“Astounding. Ethan Hawke gives one of the finest performances of his career” - Randy Peck, Interview

“Captivating! Sally Hawkins’ performance splendidly carries the day” - Todd McCarthy, The Hollywood Reporter

Aisling Walsh, Director:
“I am delighted that ‘Maudie’ has been invited to screen for Irish Film and Television Academy Members on its opening weekend in Ireland. To have Ethan Hawke joining us will make the event even more special.”

Maudie
The film is an unlikely romance in which the elusive Everett Lewis (Ethan Hawke) hires a fragile yet determined woman named Maudie (Sally Hawkins) to be his housekeeper. Maudie, bright-eyed but hunched with crippled hands, yearns to be independent, to live away from her protective family. She also yearns, passionately, to create art. Unexpectedly, Everett finds himself falling in love. ‘Maudie’ charts Everett’s efforts to protect himself from being hurt, Maudie’s deep and abiding love for this difficult man and her surprising rise to fame as a folk painter.

‘Maudie’ is released by Sony Picture Classics, and goes on general release from Friday 4th August 2017.
