Welcome to the 11th Chicago Irish Film Festival, a cinematic celebration of new Irish films, insightful documentaries and the highly anticipated shorts. We were truly delighted at the number of entries we received this year, the most ever, and every effort was made to select a representative collection of films.
Beginning its second decade, the CIFF can only applaud and delight in the substantive and expanding film production taking place in Ireland. With the emergence of so many talented and creative filmmakers it comes as no surprise that Irish directors are being honored at this year’s Academy Awards, both films having screened at the 2009 CIFF. Congratulations to Juanita Wilson and James Flynn for “The Door” and Nicky Phelan and Darragh O’Connell for “Granny O’Grimm’s Sleeping Beauty.” Congratulations, also, to Ken Wardrop and Andrew Freedman (Undressing My Mother) for winning the World Cinema Cinematography Award – Documentary for their first feature film “His & Her” at Sundance 2010.
This year’s festival has an event and a film sure to please every type of film enthusiast, US premiers, imaginative animation and all the Irish humor we have come to cherish over the years. We look forward to welcoming back previous festival patrons and to meeting first time attendees and hope all have a most enjoyable time.
