Film and television on Ireland

In Ireland, cinema and television hold a special place, offering a multitude of “made in Ireland” programs imbued with a finesse and subtlety that have earned them awards worldwide. Very eclectic, these films, series, and cartoons have each in their own way left a mark and have become, for some, great masterpieces.

Masterpieces to better understand Ireland of yesterday and today

In Ireland, storytelling is a craft. With passion, enthusiasm, and a certain sense of melodrama. It must be said that Irish history is fertile ground for this kind of discipline: Ireland has experienced so many trials and dramas that simply telling them is enough to captivate everyone.

Thus, cinema has addressed sensitive subjects such as Irish Independence with “The Wind That Shakes the Barley,” the Guildford Four tragedy with the film “In the Name of the Father,” the Derry tragedy with the film Bloody Sunday… not to mention “Angela’s Ashes,” which highlights Irish poverty in the 1900s… or the film “Hunger” dedicated to the hunger strikers in Northern Ireland…

But Irish cinema does not limit itself to recounting historical facts… Beyond offering a harsh look at a painful and brutal history, the industry also focuses on more diverse, intimate, and contemporary programs… sometimes oriented towards action, sometimes towards magic and poetry.

Starting with the series “Normal People,” a masterpiece based on Sally Rooney’s novel that is currently enjoying great success. Closely followed by “Peaky Blinders,” or the sharply humorous series “Derry Girls.”

In short, you understand: Irish cinema and television will offer you a rich and diverse experience of culture in Ireland. Shows that have often swept awards and conquered the rest of the world!
