The Irish Film & Television Academy (IFTA) has announced that the feature film, An Bronntanas will be Ireland's submission for the Foreign Language category at the 87th annual Academy Awards of Motion Pictures, Arts and Sciences next year.
Directed by Tom Collins (Kings), and produced by Ciarán Ó Cofaigh of ROSG (Cré na Cille) and Tom Collins, An Bronntanas stars Dara Devaney (Na Cloigne), John Finn (Cold Case), Owen McDonnell (Single Handed), Michelle Beamish (Crisis Eile), Pól Ó Gríofa (Ros Na Rún), Charlotte Bradley and Januscz Sheagall. The script was written by Joe O'Byrne, Paul Walker, Eoin McNamee & Tom Collins.
The film was primarily shot in Irish in Connemara by cinematographer Cian de Buitléar (I Went Down). The film premiered as the closing film at the Galway Film Fleadh earlier this year.
An Bronntanas (The Gift) is a contemporary thriller set against the background of a local independent lifeboat crew working off the coast of Connemara, in the West of Ireland. The rescue crew receives a distress call on a stormy night to discover a fishing boat, its only passenger a dead woman and its cargo is over a million Euros worth of drugs. The crew is challenged with a moral dilemma. Do they bring the woman on shore and hand the drugs to the authorities or, leave the body, sell the drugs and save their struggling village.
IFTA winning writer/director Tom Collins' previous film, Kings, was chosen for selection in the same category in 2008. All countries outside of the US may submit one eligible film for contention for the Award with an average 74 countries in competition.
An Bronntanas was produced by ROSG and DeFacto Films with financial contribution from TG4, Broadcasting Authority of Ireland (BAI), Bord Scannán na hÉireann/The Irish Film Board and Irish Language Broadcast Fund, Northern Ireland Screen. An Brontannas will shortly screen in its other incarnation as a five-part series on TG4.
