We are honoured beyond words that An Cailín Ciúin has been selected as Ireland’s entry for the 95th Academy Awards in the Best International Feature Film category. The Irish Film and Television Academy (IFTA) has selected Irish language film An Cailín Ciúin as Ireland’s entry for the Oscars in the ‘Best International Feature Film’ category. An Cailín Ciúin tells the story of Kate (Catherine Clinch) – a nine-year-old girl from an overcrowded, dysfunctional family who is sent away to live with foster parents for the summer. It has been an extraordinary privilege adapting Claire Keegan’s “Foster” to the big screen and we can’t wait to introduce our film to more and more members of the Academy as An Cailín Ciúin / The Quiet Girl continues its roll-out on the international stage. Slowly, under the care of the Kinsellas, Cáit blossoms and finds a new way of life. It is currently in cinemas in New Zealand and will be released in Australia in September.
