Shadow Dancer to close Galway Film Fleadh
The closing film at this year's Galway Film Fleadh, which runs from Tuesday, 10th July until Sunday, 15th July, is SHADOW DANCER. Directed by James Marsh, the cast includes Andrea Riseborough (Made in Dagenham, Never Let Me Go), Clive Owen (Children of Men, Inside Man, Sin City), Aidan Gillen (Game of Thrones, The Dark Knight Rises, The Wire), Domhnall Gleeson (True Grit, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows) and Gillian Anderson (The Last King of Scotland, X-Files).
SHADOW DANCER tells the story of Collette McVeigh, a Republican living in Belfast with her mother and hardliner IRA brothers. When she is arrested for her part in an aborted IRA bomb plot in London, an MI5 officer named Mac offers her a choice: lose everything and go to prison for 25 years or return to Belfast to spy on her own family. With her son's life in her hands, Collette chooses to place her trust in Mac and return home, but when her brothers' secret operation is ambushed, suspicions of an informant are raised and Collette finds both herself and her family in grave danger.
The film is produced by Andrew Lowe and Ed Guiney for Element Pictures and Chris Coen for Unanimous Entertainment and was funded by the British Film Institute, BBC Films, Wild Bunch Production and LipSync Productions with the participation of Bord Scannán na hÉireann/the Irish Film Board.
