A grieving American filmmaker and her Irish assistant tour the west of Ireland, researching a film about Granuaile, the legendary 16th century “pirate queen”. The two women develop an uneasy intimacy as they journey towards a remote Atlantic island, where boundaries begin to blur between past and present, myth and history, dream and reality…
Filmed in lush 16mm, The Cry of Granuaile is a genre-defying blend of psychodrama and fantasy starring distinguished American character actor Dale Dickey (Winter's Bone, A Love Song) alongside a stellar Irish cast.
Dónal Foreman is an Irish filmmaker living between New York City and Dublin. He has been making films since he was 11 years old. Since then, he has written, directed, edited and co-produced three feature films and dozens of shorts.
The Irish Times has called him “one of Ireland's most imaginative cinematic talents”, and his features have been praised in the Hollywood Reporter, Sight & Sound, the Guardian, Film Comment and Filmmaker Magazine, as well as in books including "Irish Cinema in the 21st Century", "A Companion to British and Irish Cinema" and "Historical Dictionary of Irish Cinema".
At age 17, he won the title of Ireland's Young Filmmaker of the Year. He has been nominated twice for the Irish Film & TV Academy Awards - for the Rising Star Award in 2014 and for Best Documentary in 2020 - and presented with the Discovery Award from the Dublin Film Critics Circle in 2014. His second feature, The Image You Missed, premiered at Rotterdam and has gone on to screen at over 40 festivals across 20 countries including Edinburgh, CPH:DOX and the Viennale, winning nine awards including the Grand Jury Prize at BAFICI, and receiving theatrical releases in Ireland, the UK, the US, Greece and Mexico. The Irish Times recently declared it one of the 50 best Irish films ever made, and it is currently streaming on the Criterion Channel.
