An Klondike rushes for gold on IFTA list TG4’s reputation for quality has been further enhanced by the nine short-listed nominations for this year’s IFTA awards. An Klondike has received no less than 9 IFTA nominations across the creative and craft categories and the channel also funded Tae leis an marbh/ Tea with the Dead, a nominee in the Animation category. The IFTA Awards are the most prestigious awards in Irish film and television. Selection juries comprising leading practitioners in the industry select the short- listed entries and the ultimate prizewinners are announced at a televised gala occasion (9th April). An Klondike is both a 4 part drama series and a feature-length film, set in the harsh world of the gold mines of Alaska a century ago. It follows the turbulent lives of three Irish-born brothers as they journey seek their fortune in Dominion Creek, a town built on greed. The drama was produced by Abú Media (previous IFTA winners) and shot on location in Ireland with the mining town constructed on the grounds of the Glengowla mines outside Oughterard in Connemara. The project was funded by BAI, TG4 and by the Section 481 supports provided by the Irish Government. The TV series has received IFTA nominations in TV for Best Drama, for Dara Devaney (Actor in a Lead Drama role), Robert O’Mahoney (Actor in a Supporting Role), Dathaí Keane (Director, TV Drama), Marcus Fleming (Best TV Drama Script) as well as TV Craft nominations for Triona Lillis, (Costume Design), for Make-up and Hair and for Pádraig O’Neil (Production Design). Actress Siobhán O’Kelly has been shortlisted for her performance in a supporting role in the Feature Film version of the work. Tea with the Dead/Tae leis an marbh is an animation in which an embalmer gets to have a good conversation with his (dead) clients over a nice cup of tea. It was co-funded by TG4 and the BAI and in the Irish language version, the main narrator is Frank Kelly, the revered actor who died very recently. The full list of this year’s IFTA nominees is available on http://ifta.ie/awards/nominees_2016/index.html Director General Pól Ó Gallchóir, congratulated the nominees, saying “TG4 has received nominations and prizes at each IFTA since we came on air, and this impressive list for 2016 represents another marker of the excellence of our output and the regard in which it is held by our industry peers and the audience”.

An Klondike ar thóir an óir ar ghearrliosta IFTA 2016 Tá deich n-ainmniúchán cláracha agus ceardaithe atá luaite le TG4 sa nGearrliosta do Ghradaim IFTA 2016 atá díreach fógraithe. Is don sraithdhráma/scannán An Klondike naoi gcinn acu agus is don sraith anamúlacha Tae leis an Marbh an ceann eile. Is é IFTA an duais-scéim aitheanta do thionscal na scannán agus na teilifíse in Éirinn. Painéal saineolaithe ón tionscal anseo agus thar sáile a roghnaíonn an saothar is fearr sna catagóir éagsúla. Foilsítear an gearrliosta ag tús na bliana agus fógraítear agus bronntar na duaiseanna IFTA féin ag ócáid ghalánta. (9 Aibreán i mbliana). Mór-shraith drámaíochta (agus fadscannán) é An Klondike ina ríomhtar scéal triúr dearthár as Conamara agus iad i ngleic le saol achrannach na mianadóireachta óir in Alasca céad fiche bliain ó shin. Tagann na deartháireacha ar ór sa bpaiste talún atá acu féin ach ní fada gur in aighneas le chéile atá siad faoi. Mór-thogra léiriúcháin agus scannánaíochta ab ea é seo a rinneadh ar an láthair i gConamara, tráth ar tógadh baile Dominion Creek le hais mianach Ghleann Gabhla in aice le hUachtar Ard. Fuair an togra seo maoiniú ó TG4, cúnamh ón scéim tacaíochta atá i bhfeidhm ag an Rialtas do scannáin agus do dhrámaíocht teilifíse, ó Bhord Scannán na hÉireann, ó Údarás Craolacháin na hÉireann agus ó Chiste Craoltóireachta Gaeilge Thuaisceart Éireann. Is sna duais-rannóga Teilifíse is mó atá ainmniúcháin IFTA faighte ag an saothair: An Dráma is Fearr, Dara Devaney (Aisteoir i bpríomh-pháirt), Robert O’Mahoney (Aisteoir i ról tacaíochta), Dathaí Keane (Stiúrthóir ar Dhráma), Marcus Fleming (Script Dráma) mar aon le hainmniúcháin Ceirde do Triona Lillis, (Deadh Feistis), ainmniúchán do Ghruaig agus Smide, ceann do Phádraig O’Neil (Dearadh Léirithe). Tá aitheantas tugtha ag IFTA freisin don leagan fad scannáin den saothar mar go bhfuair Siobhán O’Kelly ainmniúchán ann sa rannóg do Aisteoir Mná i ról tacaíochta. Tae leis an marbh a fuair an t-ainmniúchán eile do TG4. Saothar anamúlacht é seo ina ndéanann balsamóir atá ag obair i dteach adhlacóra dreas comhrá leis an gcorpán atá amach roimhe – agus cupán deas tae ina ghlaic. Is é an t-aisteoir aitheanta Frank Kelly, a bhásaigh le fíor-ghairid, an tráchtaire sa leagan Gaeilge. Fuair an togra maoiniú ó TG4 agus ón Údarás Craolacháin. Tá sonraí iomlána ghearrliosta IFTA 2016 ar fáil ag http://ifta.ie/awards/nominees_2016/index.html Thréaslaigh an tArdstiúrthóir, Pól Ó Gallchóir, a gcuid ainmniúchán ar fad leis na léiriúcháin le TG4 atá ar ghearrliosta IFTA. Dúirt sé gur cruthúnas eile ar ardchaighdeán leanúnach agus ar raon na gclár a bhíonn ag TG4 é an rogha seo. “Thuill TG4 aitheantas, ainmniúcháin agus duaiseanna ó IFTA gach bliain ó bunaíodh an scéim. Táimid an bhródúil as an uimhir ainmniúchán a fuaireamar arís i mbliana. Is móide ár sásamh gurb iad ár gcomhghleacaithe gairmiúla i dtionscal na teilifíse agus na scannán a rinne an roghnú,” a dúirt an tArdstiúrthóir.
