Sundance boost for Irish films
Irish comedy thriller The Guard starring Brendan Gleeson, and Irish documentary Knuckle, directed by Ian Palmer, will both have their world premieres at the world-famous festival which takes place from January 20.
The Guard is a comedy about a small-town cop with a confrontational personality, a subversive sense of humour and a fondness for prostitutes; while Knuckle tells the story of a 12-year journey into the world of an Irish Traveller community.
