'Tin Castle' to Feature in Competition for Cannes’ Critics Week

We are honoured to announce that ‘Tin Castle’ has been selected in competition at the 65th La Semaine de la Critique at the Cannes Film Festival!

Directed by Alexander Murphy, ‘Tin Castle’ is set along a long-forgotten road, where the O’Reillys live in a rundown trailer stranded in the middle of the fields. Pa, Lisa, and their ten children weather the seasons in their tin castle, heirs to a way of life on borrowed time. Under threat of eviction, their tenuous balance falters, yet – steadfast in their tradition – they resist. The children laugh, the dogs bark, the trailer holds on – but for how long?

A heartfelt thanks to the O’Reilly family for trusting us with their story.

Co-produced with Cosme Bongrain's Goodseed Productions and Samson Films, this selection marks a significant milestone for the film and everyone involved in its making. The film is distributed by Dulac Distribution and Film Boutique is representing the film's sales. The film is proudly funded by Screen Ireland.

The film was selected through 1,050 feature films and is one of seven to feature in competition. 

We are grateful to La Semaine de la Critique for recognising the film, and we look forward to sharing ‘Tin Castle’ with audiences in Cannes!
