Up to the late 1970s the Irish contribution was confined almost entirely to shorts and documentaries. Native feature film-making only began on an acceptable level after the foundation of the Irish Film Board.The notable point about the pre-Ardmore days was that the majority of films shot on location had an Irish setting, such as The Quiet Man. There were a few exceptions such as Huston's Moby Dick and Olivier Henry V. When Ardmore opened, the balance swung in the opposite direction with settings as varied as Germany, France, China and America. Arthur Flynn describes the films produced there by leading directors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781856079143\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eModel:\u003c\/b\u003e RKC2009285615\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e UsedLikeNew\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Currach Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53298917572935,"sku":"3B-33KN-N8RB","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0293\/7474\/2572\/files\/416ADFK5VYL.jpg?v=1770578044","url":"https:\/\/www.pigeonhousebooks.com\/products\/the-story-of-irish-film-1","provider":"Pigeonhouse Books, Dublin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
