One of Ireland's most exciting and prolific film directors, Brendan Canty's video for Hozier's 'Take Me to Church' passed a billion views on YouTube and earned two MTV VMA nominations.
Brendan has directed music videos for other top international artists (Dermot Kennedy, Talos) as well as commercials for brands like Adidas and Sky Sports.
Brendan's feature film Christy rolls back the issues surrounding the foster-care system for late-teenagers and features members of The Kabin Studio, a Cork-based community arts hip hop collective.
Christy premiered at the Berlinale 2025, where it won the Generation 14plus Grand Prix, and Best Irish Film at the Galway Film Fleadh. Christy is showing at the British & Irish Film Festival this month.
