Jamie Dornan is lending his support as an executive producer to the short film 'Nostalgie'. This IFTA-winning and Oscar-qualified production is a significant showcase for Northern Irish filmmaking talent.
The darkly comic drama delves into the complex relationship between musicians and their audiences, examining artistic ownership. It stars Aidan Gillen as a faded 1980s pop star.
'Nostalgie' boasts original music and a score by Dan Smith of the band Bastille. The cinematography was handled by Robbie Ryan, a two-time Oscar nominee known for his work on 'Poor Things' and 'The Favourite'.
The film is an adaptation of a short story by Belfast author Wendy Erskine. It follows a pop star invited to perform in Belfast, only to find one of his old songs has become an anthem with unforeseen meaning.
Directed by Kathryn Ferguson, the project represents an opportunity for Dornan to champion talent from his home city. The production team is largely based in Belfast, further solidifying its local connection.
