The continued growth of this important partnership scheme brings Irish language film-making to a new level which is evident with the premier of the scheme\u2019s first film, <\/em><strong><i>Finky<\/i><\/strong><em> at Galway Film Fleadh, that TG4\u2019s content is being brought into another home \u2013 the cinema.\u00a0 For independent Irish producers it offers an opportunity to showcase their talent and skills at the highest level and we hope that the scheme will also open doors for them in the increasingly global audio-visual market for drama content.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Michael O\u2019 Keeffe<\/strong>, Chief Executive, the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland, added, <em>\u201cThe\u00a0BAI is very pleased to continue its partnership with TG4 and Screen Ireland in supporting the Cine4 initiative. The scheme supports the development of high-quality Irish broadcast content and further strengthens the BAI\u2019s commitment to foster, promote and increase the availability of quality Irish language programming to audiences.\u00a0 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><b>Finky<\/b><\/em> has been described as a celebration of life, love, and death, and the transformative power of art. Co-written by Keane and Diarmuid de Faoite, the film tells the story of Mic\u00ed Finky, a musician and puppeteer seeking to escape his past, who heads to Scotland with his childhood friend TomTom to start a new life. On their first night in Glasgow, Finky has an accident and is left paralysed from the waist down. He hits rock bottom, but is given a chance at redemption when he is recruited by Carnival Chaotica, an avant-garde circus troupe. As his journey becomes increasingly hellish and surreal, Finky realises that he must confront his tormented past if he is to ever find peace.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking about the selection, Director Datha\u00ed Keane said: <em>I\u2019m delighted to be premiering \u2018Finky\u2019 at the Galway Film Fleadh. It\u2019s an honour to be selected as I\u2019m from Galway and grew up going to the Fleadh and it\u2019s a great festival. Finky is a very personal film so I\u2019m looking forward to sharing it with an audience for the first time. Many of our cast and crew also hail from the West so it really is the perfect place to launch the film.<\/em><i><\/p>\n<p><\/i><br \/>\nImages from premier available from Se\u00e1n \u00d3 Mainn\u00edn 087-2220241<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In conjunction with this premier Cine4 (Round 4) was also announced.
