Frank Berry : 2014
Amy Keane, a 13-year-old trying to cope with the death of her mother and the reappearance of her father's ex-girlfriend, experiences the temptation of suicide after witnessing the outpouring of love for a local suicide victim. Offering a striking dramatic representation of a real-life community, the film looks at how the idea of suicide can spread, particularly among young people. Featuring performances from a mostly non-professional cast, and filmed on the streets of Tallaght in west Dublin, the director sensitively explores the tragic phenomenon of suicide clusters, a phenomenon that is affecting a growing number of communities around the world. Documentary and TV filmmaker Frank Berry's feature debut won the Best First Feature Audience Award when it premiered at Galway Film Fleadh 2014.
