A story inspired by the life and times of Jimmy Gralton and a
country hall in Ireland. Jimmy Gralton's sin was to build a dance
hall on a rural crossroads in Ireland where young people could come
to learn, to argue, to dream...but above all to dance and have fun.
Jimmy's Hall celebrates the spirit of these free thinkers. Features
Full screenplay Photos from the film Production notes from cast and
crew, including Paul Laverty, Ken Loach and Rebecca O'Brien
Historical context for Jimmy Gralton
"Looking for Eric" is a magical, social realist film about a
football fanatic postman on the verge of a nervous breakdown who
finds a very special life-coach in the guise of his hero, Eric
Cantona. Eric the postman is slipping through his own fingers - His
chaotic family, his wild stepsons, and the cement mixer in the
front garden don't help, but it is Eric's own secret that drives
him to the brink. Can he face Lily, the woman he once loved thirty
years ago? Despite outrageous efforts and misplaced goodwill from
his football fan mates, Eric continues to sink. In desperate times
it takes a spliff and a special friend from foreign parts to
challenge a lost postman to make that journey into the most
perilous territory of all - the past. As the Chinese, and one
Frenchman, say, 'He who is afraid to throw the dice, will never
throw a six.' This title features the full screenplay, including
extra scenes, sixteen pages of colour photographs, plus
introductions from Paul Laverty, Ken Loach, Eric Cantona and
production notes from the cast and crew.

Fergus met Frankie on his first day at school and they've been in
each others' shadow ever since. As teenagers they skipped school
and drank cider on the ferry over the River Mersey, dreaming about
travelling the world. In September 2004, Fergus persuaded Frankie
to join his security team in Baghdad: GBP10,000 a month, tax free;
their last chance to 'load up' in this increasingly privatised war.
Together they risked their lives in a city steeped in violence,
terror and greed, and awash with billions of US dollars. Three
years later, Frankie is killed on Route Irish, the most dangerous
road in the world. Back in Liverpool, a grief-stricken Fergus
rejects the official explanation that Frankie was simply in the
wrong place at the wrong time, and begins his own investigation
into his soul mate's death. Only Rachel, Frankie's partner, grasps
the depth of Fergus's sorrow, and the lethal possibilities of his
fury as he struggles to find his old self and the happiness he
shared with Frankie twenty years earlier on the Mersey. Features
the full screenplay, character backstory, production notes and
photographs from the film, plus background essays by Mark Townsend,
Haifa Zangana and Mike Phipps.
