Granite & Chalk

As rebels planned Ireland’s 1916 Easter Rising they were watched by two spies code-named Granite and Chalk. This documentary delves into British intelligence to tell their story one century on. Funded by Bord Scannán na hÉireann/the Irish Film Board After ’16 is a creative response by Irish filmmakers to the events of Easter 1916. This collection of nine short films is a mixture of live-action animation and documentary telling stories from the eve of the Rising all the way to the Troubles in 1970s Northern Ireland and beyond.
