Athena Media awarded two new BAI documentary projects
Wed 01 Jul 2015 by Athena Media
In the latest round of BAI funding, Athena Media had two successful projects, a one hour TV documentary “How to Win” presented by David Gillick for Setanta Ireland and Cross Currents, a music documentary series presented by Barry McGovern for RTÉ lyric.
Cross Currents is a landmark three-part music documentary series, narrated by award-winning actor Barry McGovern, exploring Irish composers’ work from 1975 to 1985. This defining epoch sees Irish composition flourish as young Irish composers look to Europe to re-imagine an Irish identity in music, paralleling many of the societal and economic shifts in post-de Valera Ireland.
Both How to Win and Cross Currents will air from Spring 2016 and enter development in July 2015.
