Earlier this month, Faythe Levine and Sam Macon’s Sign Painters documentary premiered at The Sugar Club. This Dublin-specific documentary was shown as a supporting feature.

Colin Brady writes:

[Yesterday] we released a documentary film about Dublin’s relationship,history and influence connected with hand painted signs called ‘Gentlemen of Letters’. Although it’s not as common now, the city was once rich with beautiful hand lettered signs crafted by old school sign writers like Kevin Freeney. The film features interviews with Dublin based artists Maser, JamesEarley, sign writer Colm O’ Connor and the sons of Kevin Freeney, Pauland Kevin Jr.

(L-R) Maggie Gyllenhaal, Michael Fassbender and Domhnall Gleeson

Lenny Abrahamson’s  Fassbender/Gleeson headlining ‘Frank’ will premiere at the Sundance Festival next month.

Frank is based on the memoir by Jon Ronson about a wannabe musician (Gleeson) who joins an avant-garde rock band led by the enigmatic Frank Sidebottom (Fassbender) — a musical genius who hides himself inside a large fake head.

Any excuse really.
