\nOfficial Trailer Launched for IFTA Award-Winning Irish-Language Feature B\u00c1ITE n Cinemas Nationwide 6 March 2026 During Seachtain na Gaeilge
\n 
\nThe official trailer has today been released for the award-winning Irish-language feature B\u00c1ITE, ahead of its nationwide cinema opening on 6 March 2026, timed to coincide with Seachtain na Gaeilge (1\u201317 March).
\n 
\nB\u00c1ITE was nominated for four IFTA Awards, including Lead Actress in Film (Eleanor O\u2019Brien), Best Director \u2013 Film (Ru\u00e1n Magan), Script \u2013 Film (Sheena Lambert) and Original Music (Eimear Noone and Craig Stuart Garfinkle), winning the award for Original Music.
\n 
\nThe newly launched trailer offers audiences a first look at the film\u2019s tense atmosphere, striking west of Ireland landscape and central mystery \u2014 as a body discovered in the receding waters of a man-made lake begins to unsettle a Gaeltacht community built on long-held secrets.
\n 
\nSet in September 1975, B\u00c1ITE (\u201cThe Drowned\u201d) follows 23-year-old Peggy Casey, who runs her family\u2019s pub in the west of Ireland. When the lake reveals what has been hidden beneath its surface, a murder investigation exposes buried truths that threaten family loyalties, identity and an entire community\u2019s sense of belonging.
\n 
\nDirected by Ru\u00e1n Magan, written by Sheena Lambert (adapted from her acclaimed novel The Lake), and produced by Siobh\u00e1n N\u00ed Ghadhra and John Brady for Galway-based Dan\u00fa Media, the film blends suspense, identity and intergenerational memory within an authentically Irish-language setting.
\n 
\nThe ensemble cast is led by Eleanor O\u2019Brien (The Wonder, Disenchanted) as Peggy Casey, with Moe Dunford (Vikings, Rosie) as Detective Sergeant Frank Ryan. Supporting performances include Juliette Crosbie (Harry Wild), P\u00e1draig \u00d3 Loingsigh, and Denis Conway (Alexander,Brooklyn) as Father Mahon, with Mark Mac Gearailt, Gear\u00f3id Kavanagh and Fionnuala Gygax portraying Peggy\u2019s siblings.
\n 
\nThe production was supported by F\u00eds \u00c9ireann\/Screen Ireland, TG4 and Coimisi\u00fan na Me\u00e1n under the Cine4 scheme, which champions bold and culturally rich Irish-language cinema.
\n 
\n\u201cMassive congratulations to Eimear Noone and Craig Stuart Garfinkle on their IFTA win for Original Music for B\u00c1ITE last Friday and to the entire B\u00c1ITE team on an exceptional and truly well-deserved achievement. B\u00c1ITE is a confident and atmospheric Irish language film that reflects the ambition and creative strength of the Cine4 scheme. Deeply rooted in place and character, it brings a compelling story to the big screen and highlights the richness of Irish language storytelling. TG4 is proud to support Dan\u00fa Media and the creative team behind B\u00e1ite as the film prepares to reach cinema audiences this March.\u201d<\/em> – M\u00e1ire N\u00ed Chonl\u00e1in, Commissioning Editor, TG4 (Cine4)<\/strong>
\n 
\nReleasing during Seachtain na Gaeilge (https:\/\/snag.ie<\/a>) places B\u00c1ITE at the heart of a national moment celebrating the Irish language, offering audiences the opportunity to experience a contemporary Irish-language story on the big screen.
\n 
\nSchool and group bookings are now open. For education, TY and community group enquiries, please contact Eclipse Pictures directly or visit www.baite.ie<\/a> for booking information.
