Seen, but unnoticed: A Celebration of the Background Artists & Extras of Michael Collins.
They came by the busload, graciously offering time for free and supplementing the period costumes with clothes they brought themselves in order to participate in one of the most ambitious undertakings of Irish Cinema history, Neil Jordan’s Michael Collins.
The now iconic production painstakingly recreated some of Dublin’s historic landmarks such as the GPO and Croke Park and vital to delivering the authenticity of such settings were thousands of extras breathing life and vibrancy into the piece. To celebrate the 20th anniversary of this remarkable production the Audi Dublin International Film Festival would like to extend an invitation to those who took part in the production to join us for a special reunion and retrospective of the amazing work and share their own stories and memories from the shoot.
