A new movie starring Eve Hewson and Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and an adaptation of John McGahern’s That They May Face the Rising Sun are among the projects being backed by Screen Ireland for 2023.

McGahern’s award-winning novel is being adapted for the big screen by west Cork filmmaker Pat Collins, who has cast Barry Ward, Anna Bederke, and Ruth McCabe in his feature film. The story centres on a couple who have moved to Ireland from London, to live and work in a small rural community.
