Don't Miss

A Film With Me in It
Pierce (Dylan Moran of Black Books fame) is an aspiring screenwriter who spends most of his time at the pub with his pal, unemployed actor Mark (Mark Doherty, who also wrote the script). Their incessant conversations about the film they will make, starring Mark, are played out against a backdrop of failing relationships, financial chaos and crumbling dwellings. Their inept bumblings take them on a rollercoaster ride from small aggravations into a tsunami of accidental homicides veering between slapstick and black humour.

Country Wedding
Weddings are a celebration of love and romance. Or not. Two busloads of guests head out to rural Iceland, one holding the control freak bride and her family, and the other violently jolting the deeply hungover groom and his party. Only the groom has the address of the tiny church chosen for the nuptials. The directions he has are hopeless, and the priest they call for help is too busy watching football and getting drunk to offer any assistance. Add to this fiasco a group of guests trapped together on a bus, with the undercurrent of unresolved tensions that inevitably bubble to the surface at big get togethers. Featuring great performances from a cast who largely improvised the script, this debut feature from acclaimed editor Valdis Óskarsdóttir (who won a BAFTA her work on Michael Gondry’s Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind) is both funny and familiar.
