Set between 2023 and 2025, this documentary follows Irish Green Party leader and Cabinet Minister Eamon Ryan during his final 18 months in government. Once buoyed by Europe’s Green wave, Ryan now faces waning public interest in climate issues as he advocates globally for renewable energy and climate justice for the Global South.

At home, he battles public resistance, political pressure, online abuse and far-right pushback while the Irish Greens implement one of Europe’s most ambitious climate plans.

Interwoven is his tender relationship with his autistic son, Tommy, reflecting his persistence, empathy, and belief that lasting change - whether in politics or family - requires patience and hope.

FOREVER IS NOW is a Soilsiú Films production, in co-production with Docmakers & Clin D'Oeil Films.

TRACING COLOMBIA

Tracing Colombia is an interactive film experience for laptop and smartphone. It follows visual artist Jan Rothuizen traveling to Colombia for an exhibition, shortly after the country signs a historic peace accord ending five decades of internal conflict. What begins as a professional trip evolves into a personal and emotional journey as he navigates a land in transformation-and confronts his own position as an outsider.

Struck by the vibrancy of the people and the urgency of the moment, the artist finds Colombians searching for new images and stories to define their identity beyond war.

Harriet and her three older brothers experienced a magical childhood “among the dragons” at Cumnor Place, with enchanted gardens, fairy tales and nightmares. Now that they are adults and both their parents have died, brothers and sister are coming together to clear out the family home so it can be sold. In clearing out the bulging attics and overcrowded rooms, they try to relate to their demanding and eccentric parents and their unorthodox upbringing.
