But lucky audiences in Ireland will have the opportunity to see Tiger Raid, starring Irish talents Damien (Paddy) and Brian Gleeson (Joe) as co-leads, much sooner, when it screens in competition at the Galway Film Fleadh 7 July.

The upcoming film has already world premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival and more recently UK premiered at Edinburgh Film Festival, where it received critical acclaim.

Eye For Film gave Tiger Raid a glowing 4 star review:

Tiger Raid is a film of a different stripe, intermittently meditative, visceral, crude, poetic, consistently bleak and beautiful, like a Romantic heath. It prowls without relent to a conclusion that is provocative, satisfying.

While Edinburgh Festivals Magazine praised Damien and Brian Gleesons’ “powerful” and “electric” performances:

It is the heated conversations and unfolding the mystery surrounding these two characters that engages with the audience the most. Gleeson and Molony elevate the film; their powerful performances, quick wit and war paint across their eyes make them formidable characters.
Alongside the electric performances, the film does a great job of visually immersing the audience..”

We’re thrilled Damien’s much-anticipated film is soon to hit cinemas in Ireland and have our fingers crossed for news of a wider release soon!
