Sadly this is the last ever episode of the IFL podcast. On behalf of us both (Niamh and Gerry) we want to say a huge thanks to everyone whose listened since 2020. We've had some amazing guests and have been so proud of what we've achieved with this project.   For our final episode, Niamh caught up with the filmmakers behind Lakelands -  a powerful new drama based in Longford. She spoke to filmmakers Robert Higgins and Patrick McGivney, as well as stars Danielle Galligan and Éanna Hardwicke. This extended interview gives you access to the process behind making the film and how its been received on its incredible journey so far. It also explores some of the themes in the film from the perspective of the filmmakers themselves.     LAKELANDS is out in Irish and UK cinemas from Friday May 5th. - - - The Irish Film London Podcast is presented fortnightly by Niamh Branigan and Gerry Maguire.
