A Date For Mad Mary, The Killing Of A Sacred Deer & Return To Montauk in the European Film Awards running

A Date For Mad Mary, The Killing Of A Sacred Deer and Return To Montauk are the three Irish productions to get long-listed for the 30th European Film Awards, which will be doled out on December 9 in Berlin.
Despite featuring such A-Listers as Colin Farrell, Nicole Kidman and Alicia Silverstone, most of the rave ... Sacred Deer festival reviews have focused on the prodigious talents of former Love/Hate man Barry Keoghan.
The 24-year-old Dubliner also has roles in Dunkirk, and Lance Daly’s upcoming thriller set during the Great Famine, Black 47, which finds him appearing alongside Hugo Weaving, Jim Broadbent, Stephen Rea and Moe Dunford.
A bigger hit in Germany than it was here, Return To Montauk was co-written by Volker Schlondorff and Colm Toibin, tells the story of an ageing author who catches up with a long lost love and has room in its impressive cast for Derry's Bronagh Gallagher.
Hot Press readers will be well aware of the Drogheda-set A Date For Mad Mary and its star, Seana Kerslake, who in addition to a second series of Can't Cope, Won't Cope is currently working on Dave Tynan's Dublin Oldschool.
