Back in the summer of 1985 a couple of rambunctious Irish lads—one 10, the other 13—were out and about in their Dublin neighborhood, up to their usual tricks. No worries there—they had promised their mums they’d return for supper.
“Aye, sure we will, ma,” had they said, or words to that effect, before they went rambling. But instead of coming back for dinner, they set out on an adventure, a romp that would take them from Dublin across the Irish Sea to Wales, on to London and then New York. All without the benefit of a ticket, a passport, any form of ID. The story of their escapade made headlines on both sides of the Atlantic.
“They decided that they would go on a little wander,” notes Garret Daly, director of Nothing to Declare, an Oscar-contending short documentary on the singular odyssey of Keith Byrne (the younger of the...

The premiere for A Nightingale Falling takes place tomorrow at the Galway Film Fleadh, and unless you’ve got your ticket, you won’t get one now as it’s been sold out for well over a week. However, we have the first trailer below and it looks great. It has a fantastic authenticity about it (the visuals are superb), and it’s very reminiscent of something the great Ken Loach would do. Some tense and powerful performances by the cast here too and this is something we’re looking forward to seeing! Best of luck to Garret Daly and all the cast and crew ahead of their premiere! Synopsis: Set in Ireland during the War of Independence, two sisters' lives are changed forever as they care for a wounded soldier. What transpires is a tragic love story of a household & its inhabitants, caught in the crucible of dark deep...
