Ciaran Creagh’s Ann Photo: Courtesy of Poff The selections for this year's Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival continue to come thick and fast, with the announcement of its new Critics' Picks strand this morning. The section will showcase 16 films handpicked by the festival's programme team.
Explaining the new strand, festival director Tinna Lokk said: “The Critics’ Picks competition programme solves a challenge our programme team has seen for many years: brilliant arthouse films that are unfortunately often lost in the mix of our fast-growing line-up and large-scale international festivals. It’s essential to our mission as a festival to create structures to introduce films of all shapes, colours and sizes to our audience.”
She added: “The critic programmers who have put together this new programme have succeeded in selecting some uniquely compelling and engaging features films. I can’t wait to introduce them to wider audiences this November.”

As part of the 2016 Galway Film Fleadh, Underground Cinema are proud to present the Irish Premiere of In View the extraordinary directorial debut of Ciaran Creagh whose previous feature Parked starring Colm Meaney was a winner at the Fleadh in 2011.The world premiere of In View was held at the Dallas International Film Festival in April 2016 and the producers are delighted to present the film for the first time in Ireland at the festival. When In View was written it was always the director’s hope that one day the script would be made into a film and not just remain words stuck in his head. According to In View’s producer, David Byrne, "It is extremely difficult to get funding to produce a feature film especially one of this genre. Everybody said we were mad to even attempt to make such a film. Never did we realise that so...

Home Is Where The Heart Is: Byrne Takes Up Fiction
For the decade prior to making his fictional feature debut, director Darragh Byrne helmed a number of Irish television documentaries that held implications of those who found themselves in various unfortunate situations, whether outlaws by chance (or choice, in The Underworld) or afflicted immigrant by law (as was partially the case in Mixed Blessings). Making the leap from non-fiction to fabrication with the socially conscious dramedy, Parked, Bryne continues to follow similar themes without rehashing worn material or sentimentally moralizing. Instead, the director takes a pair of downtrodden contradictory characters he could have plucked from one of his previous docs and rubs them together in classic odd couple tradition like a comedic experiment to see what kind of charge will result from the friction.

Rating: 2.5 out of 5 stars
Fred Daly, (Colm Meaney) quite literally does not have pot to piss in and lives in his clapped out car, which is permanently parked in the local beach car park. It’s a meaningless existence until young druggie Cathal (Colin Morgan aka BBC’s Merlin) comes into his world. The question is: will Cathal’s chaotic energy give Fred’s life the kick up the arse that it needs?
Starting off with an always brave dialogue free opening five minutes, Parked meanders along as Fred mopes about, either staring wistfully out to sea, washing in the public toilets, or trying to sign on. From the off, it’s easy to see that this ambling pace may be a struggle for those audience members with a short attention span and despite the appearance of Cathal entering the fray, we still never get out of second gear (my...
