Exclusive IFTN Thaddeus O'Sullivan Q&A
25 Nov 2004 :

IFTN is inviting our readers to submit questions for a Q&A with one of Ireland’s most prolific directors, Thaddeus O’Sullivan. The award winning Irish filmmaker will take time out from shooting his latest project, ‘Proof 2,’ to answer questions put to him exclusively by IFTN readers.

Thaddeus O’Sullivan has played a key role in the early development of Irish cinema and, with fellow independent film-makers Bob Quinn, Pat Murphy, Joe Comerford and Cathal Black, was an early lobbyist on behalf of an indigenous Irish cinema. He worked as a cinematographer until 1990 on projects with Comerford (Traveller), Black (Pigs) and Murphy (Anne Devlin), before branching out on his own with the much loved short film ‘The Woman who Married Clark Gable’ in 1985.

‘Clark Gable’ earned O’Sullivan a BAFTA award nomination that year and five years later he picked up a total of twenty awards world wide for his feature film ‘December Bride’. These included the Special Jury prize of the European Film Academy and was the Winner of the Director's Fortnight at the Cannes Film Festival.

Thaddeus O’Sullivan has frequently tackled contemporary urban Ireland in his work and became the first director to explore Loyalist paramilitaries in Northern Ireland with his stylish political thriller ‘Nothing Personal’ in 1995. In 2000 he directed a light-hearted version of the Michael Cahill story, ‘Ordinary Decent Criminal.’ His most recent feature film was the 2002 drama ‘The Heart of Me’ and before returning to Dublin to shoot ‘Proof 2’ he just completed work on the TV Mini Series ‘Island At War.’

Don’t miss this opportunity to participate in the IFTN Thaddeus O’Sullivan Q&A. Simply email news@iftn.ie with your question(s) before Friday the 3rd of December 2004.

A selection from the Q&A will be published on IFTN before the end of the year.
