<strong>JAMESON</strong> <strong>DUBLIN</strong> <strong>INTERNATIONAL</strong> <strong>FILM</strong> <strong>FESTIVAL</strong> 2014<br />
SATURDAY 22ND FEBRUARY<br />
RUN & JUMP<br />
Born in the US, but now dividing her time between<br />
Los Angeles and Dublin, director Steph Green was<br />
nominated for an Oscar in 2009 for her short film<br />
New Boy, a sensitive portrait of a young African lad<br />
struggling to settle into a new school in Ireland. The<br />
theme of coming to terms with a dramatic life change<br />
is once again central in her confident, boldly stylized<br />
feature debut Run & Jump.<br />
‘captures the beauty of an obviously flawed family<br />
with remarkable warmth and immediacy’ Variety<br />
Sat 22 Feb / Cineworld 12 / 6.15pm / 99 minutes<br />
Director: Steph Green 2013 Germany/Ireland<br />
Writers: Ailbhe Keogan, Steph Green<br />
Cast: Maxine Peake, Edward MacLiam, Will Forte<br />
Winner, Best Irish Feature, Galway Film Fleadh<br />
Set in a picturesque Irish town, the film begins with<br />
the return to the family of Conor (Edward MacLiam),<br />
a 38-year-old carpenter who’s suffered a damaging<br />
stroke, leaving him severely mentally restricted. In<br />
response, his spirited wife, Vanetia (Maxine Peake),<br />
has brought an American neurophysiologist, Ted<br />
Fielding (Will Forte), into the household to observe<br />
Conor’s condition. Ted soon finds himself becoming<br />
inextricably woven into the family in ways he<br />
hadn’t imagined.<br />
Undoubtedly a name to watch, Green has crafted a<br />
debut as fresh, intimate, and compassionate as Lynne<br />
Ramsay’s Ratcatcher.<br />

GOLD<br />
‘Gold is beautifully served by its actors. David Wilmot as the<br />
drifter Ray is understated and brilliant; Maisie Williams is driven<br />
and faultless. Kerry Condon and James Nesbitt are spot on in<br />
everything they do.’ Peter Sheridan<br />
Twelve years ago, Ray (David Wilmot) left town after<br />
his childhood sweetheart, Alice (Kerry Condon),<br />
dumped him, taking their daughter away from him.<br />
Now he must return home at the request of his ailing<br />
father, who wishes to see his granddaughter before<br />
it’s too late. But things take a turn for the absurd when<br />
Ray realises his daughter and her mother have built a<br />
new life with his former PE teacher, a controlling and<br />
regimented figure who is the direct opposite of Ray.<br />
After Ray is found sleeping in his beat-up car, Alice<br />
feels guilty enough to invite him to stay. But from his<br />
first bumbling efforts to get close to his daughter to<br />
the catastrophic effect his presence has on Frank –<br />
Ray manages to create chaos all around him.<br />
Set in an affluent suburb in north County Dublin,<br />
this offbeat comedy and unconventional love story<br />
delights in the hilarity of everyday life.<br />
