(Dublin Premiere)

Peter Bogdanovich - Contributor
Dan Ford - Grandson of John Ford
and Producer Redmond Morris
Documentary John Ford: Dreaming the Quiet Man received its Dublin premiere as part of the Symposium as director Sé Merry Doyle delved into the making of John Ford's most personal film The Quiet Man.
Doyle proclaimed the premiere "an absolutely amazing evening."
Speaking after the warmly-received screening he added: "It was amazing to have – in the same room watching the film – Dan Ford, Ford's grandson; Peter Bogdanovich, a good friend of Ford's; Redmond Morris, the son of Lord Killanin and a co-producer of 'The Quiet Man'. So it was a scary moment but they all loved it."
John Ford: Dreaming the Quiet Man is narrated by Gabriel Byrne with contributions from well-known commentators and film makers, including Martin Scorsese, Peter Bogdanovich, Jim Sheridan and Maureen O'Hara.
Using a blend of archive from The Quiet Man, stunning location material and colourful and varied meetings with people who were intimately connected with the making of the film, this documentary offers a fascinating glimpse into Ford's film making and life.
John Ford : Dreaming the Quiet Man is in cinemas in Ireland from June 15th
