Jim Sheridan - "Brothers" preview screening

"Six time Oscar® nominated Irish director Jim Sheridan (My Left Foot, In the Name of the Father) will attend an exclusive Irish Film & Television Academy preview screening of his latest feature film ‘Brothers’ in Dublin on Thursday 19 November 2009. The acclaimed filmmaker will participate in a post screening Q&A with IFTA Academy Members.‘Brothers’ tells the powerful story of two siblings, thirty-something Captain Sam Cahill (Tobey Maguire) and younger brother Tommy Cahill (Jake Gyllenhaal) who are polar opposites. A marine about to embark on his fourth tour of duty, Sam is a steadfast family man, married to his highschool sweetheart, the aptly named Grace (Natalie Portman) with whom he has two young daughters (Bailee Madison, Taylor Grace Geare). Tommy, his charismatic younger brother is a drifter out of jail who’s always gotten by won wit and charm. He slides easily into his role as family provocateur on his first night out of prison at Sam’s farewell dinner with their parents, Elise (Mare Winningham) and Hank Cahill (Sam Shepard), a retired marine. The ‘Brothers’exclusive preview screening will take place at Dublin’s Savoy Cinema, with John Maguire, film critic for the Sunday Business Post and Today FM's Ian Dempsey Breakfast Show, leading the Q&A with Mr. Sheridan".
