Wildcard Distribution are set to release Rebecca Daly’s critically acclaimed dramatic feature film ‘Mammal’ to Irish cinemas on April 1st.

This announcement follows the news that the film picked up the Panavision Spirit Award for Independent Cinema at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival over the weekend. The film stars Academy Award nominee and Golden Globe winner Rachel Griffiths as well as Barry Keoghan who have both received acclaim for their performances.

Also starring Michael McElhatton (‘Game of Thrones’), Johnny Ward (‘Love/Hate’) and Nika McGuigan (‘Philomena’) ‘Mammal’ is the story of a woman (Griffiths) who has lost her son and develops an unorthodox relationship with a homeless youth (Keoghan). Their tentative trust is threatened by his involvement with a violent gang and the escalation of her ex-husband’s (McElhatton) grieving rage.

The film premiered at the Sundance Film Festival last month where it was one of only five films picked up by the Sundance Channel and was included in Vanity Fair’s Top 10 Films of Sundance. It had its European premiere at the International Film Festival Rotterdam earlier this month and has also screened at the Gothenburg International Film Festival in Sweden. Irish audiences will get a chance to see the film later this month when it screens at the Audi Dublin International Film Festival where Barry Keoghan and Nika McGuigan both have been nominated for the ADIFF Discovery Award.

‘Mammal’ was produced by Macdara Kelleher and Conor Barry for Fastnet Films (‘Strangerland’, ‘Kisses’, ‘What If’) and was funded by the Irish Film Board (IFB), Luxembourg Film Fund, BAI, TV3 and the Netherlands Film Fund.

‘Mammal’ will be released by Wildcard Distribution in cinemas nationwide from Friday 1st April. Watch the trailer below:
