Ukrainian language film Sanatorium to represent Ireland at Oscars
The Irish Film & Television Academy (IFTA) has announced that Sanatorium, a Ukrainian-language film directed by Galway-born filmmaker Gar O'Rourke, will represent Ireland in the International Feature Film category at the 2026 Academy Awards. The documentary, set in a Soviet-era wellness centre near Odesa, offers a wry and vivid portrait of residents seeking love, healing and escape through unusual therapies, including the use of a mysterious black mud said to cure infertility and physical ailments. Despite the backdrop of war, the community carries on, determined to find joy and restoration. Produced by Dublin's Venom Films alongside Ukrainian company 2332 Films, Sanatorium has already won acclaim on the festival circuit, picking up Best Irish Feature Documentary at the Galway Film Fleadh. It premiered at CPH:DOX in Copenhagen earlier this year and has since screened at festivals in Switzerland, Edinburgh, Melbourne and Kyiv. The film will be released in Irish cinemas on 5 September by Eclipse Pictures. Announcing the selection, IFTA Chief Executive Áine Moriarty praised the film as "intriguing and quietly powerful", adding: "It is so inspiring to see an Irish director and creative team collaborate with Ukrainian colleagues to capture these moments in time, which will no doubt resonate with audiences worldwide." Director Gar O'Rourke said representing Ireland at the Oscars was "an incredible honour", describing the film as a tribute to "the power of healing, the resilience of community, and above all the strength of the Ukrainian spirit in the face of such traumatic times." Producers Andrew Freedman, Ken Wardrop and Samantha Corr said the choice was a recognition not only of the Irish creative team but also of the "resilient community of Kuyalnik Sanatorium outside Odesa, where even in the shadow of war, people come to heal, to laugh and to show extraordinary humanity." Sanatorium follows in the footsteps of recent Irish Oscar contenders An Cailín Ciúin (The Quiet Girl), which was nominated in 2023, and Kneecap, which made the shortlist earlier this year. Past IFTA entries have included films in Irish, Spanish, Arabic and Serbo-Croatian. The Oscar shortlist for International Feature will be announced on 16 December, with the final five nominees revealed on 22 January. The 98th Academy Awards take place in Los Angeles on 15 March 2026.

Ukrainian-language feature film to represent Ireland at next year's Oscars
The Irish Film and Television Academy (IFTA) announced that Sanatorium will follow in the footsteps of Oscar-nominated An Caitlín Ciúin in 2023 and Kneecap from this year by competing in the International Feature Film category. It was directed by Galway-born filmmaker Gar O'Rourke and produced by Venom Films by IFTA-winning Ken Wardrop and Andrew Freedman. The film documents a small colourful group's quest for normality and respite in a wellness centre in the southern Ukrainian port city of Odesa as war rages around the country. Participants gather in a Soviet-era building to undergo mud treatments using black mud that is said to cure infertility and physical disabilities. Sanatorium was selected by IFTA's 2025 Selection Committee which consists of prominent Irish filmmakers from several previously Oscar-nominated films. IFTA chief executive Áine Moriarty has said that the film will resonate with audiences around the world. "What an intriguing and quietly powerful film, with its vibrant and visually stunning scenery and colourful cast of real-life characters who find escapism within the confines of an unconventional wellness centre in Ukraine,' she said. "It is so inspiring to see an Irish Director and creative team collaborate with Ukrainian colleagues to capture these moments in time.' The film's director Gar O'Rourke said that the film has been received very well by audiences since its release. 'Since the premiere of Sanatorium earlier this year, the international response has been overwhelming. "This was a film that set out to show the power of healing, the resilience of community, and above all the strength of the Ukrainian spirit in the face of such traumatic times.' Its producers Andrew Freedman, Ken Wardrop and Samantha Corr highlighted the importance of the film's display of 'extraordinary humanity', despite the horrors of war. This is not the first time a foreign-language film been chosen to wave the Irish flag in Hollywood – Spanish-language film Viva was shortlisted in 2006, as well as the Arabic-language films Gaza in 2019 and The Shadow of Beirut in 2024.

Rachael Blackmore and Frankie Dettori praise Irish teen jockey after debut win
Rachael Blackmore and Frankie Dettori were among those to show their appreciation for an Irish teenage jockey, who tasted victory with his first ever ride. Jamie Martin steered Alaskan View (10/1) to win the Majestic Hotel INH Flat Race at Tramore on Friday, with the pair finishing ahead of the Patrick Mullins-ridden odds-on favourite Highland Realm (2/5). Grand National and Gold Cup winner Blackmore was among those to like a video of Martin's interview with Racing TV after the race on Instagram, with legendary flat jockey Dettori also liking the clip, as did Danny Mullins and Billy Loughnane. The win was all the more special for the 17-year-old as the horse is trained by the his grandfather Willie, owned by his brother and was led up by his father Mick. Many people took to social media to praise the secondary school student for his 'brilliant' post-race interview. One person said: "Well done young fella. Brilliant interview and great winner for ye." Another wrote: "What a great young man! Well done!" Someone else commented: "He's a fantastic fella, delighted for him." One other post read: "This young man deserves every bit of success that comes his way." Speaking after the race, Martin said: "I'm just so grateful to have the likes of my father and grandfather to give me the opportunity. My brother didn't want me on the horse, but my Dad had his way. I thought I was dreaming for a second. "I was talking to a few of the lads inside and I thought I was going to be making it, but there was a bit of competition for the lead and there was three horses upsides for nearly whole first round. I was tanking along so I let Alaskan View off in front. She travelled along beautifully and heard Patrick (Mullins) coming near, but lengthened out unreal. "I thought I was going to fall off near the end but I made it! I looked across and said to Patrick 'Did I win or not?" He added, smiling: "The plan was if I won this I'd retire with a 100 per cent strike rate but I think I'll have to keep on going!"
