Oscar® nominated THE SHORE screening at QFT
To celebrate the Oscar® nomination for Terry George's The Shore in the Live Action Short Film category, Queen's Film Theatre will present a week of special screenings from 2nd - 8th March.
The Shore is the inspiring story of two boyhood best friends - Joe (Ciarán Hinds) and Paddy (Conleth Hill) - divided by 25 years of misunderstanding. Their world and their friendship is shattered by the conflict escalating in Northern Ireland, the two boys' lives take very different paths until, 25 years later, Joe returns for the first time to his homeland with his 24-year-old daughter, Patricia. In his absence Paddy, his best friend, has married Joe's former fiancée Mary. What happened all those years ago? Can old wounds be healed? The answer is in equal parts hilarious and moving.
Funded by Northern Ireland Screen, The Shore filmed entirely in Northern Ireland on location in Killough last year. The film also received finance from Tourism Ireland and Loughshore Investments.
Academy Awards® for outstanding film achievements of 2011 will be presented on Sunday, February 26, 2012, at the Kodak Theatre at Hollywood & Highland Center.
