Four Irish titles will screen at the up coming New York International Independent Film and Video Festival (NYIIFVF) running from 19 -25 September 2008.
Titles screening at the festival include Galway director Margaretta D’Arcy’s ‘Yellow Gate Women’. The feature documentary is a retrospective study of the historic Greenham Common Women’s Peace Camp in England where local women campaigned for the expulsion of US nuclear missiles and military from the common.
‘Battle of the Boyne’ directed by Lee Cronin from the Dublin based production outfit Agtel will also screen at the festival. The 15 minute adaptation of one of Ireland’s bloodiest battles is now a permanent fixture at the Battle of the Boyne Visitors Centre in Oldbridge, County Meath and was commissioned by the Office of Public Works.
Other films that will screen over the course of the festival include the 14 minute short ‘Fifth Street’, directed by David Roddham, based on a criminal poker game, and Mark Mahon’s boxing feature ‘Strength and Honour’ starring Michael Madsen, Vinnie Jones, Patrick Bergin and Richard Chamberlain.
