Into and Out of Africa | Jim Sheridan

[BluBonnet]

Jim Sheridan has a lot of new projects!

Sheridan is also developing a more personal film with his daughter, Clodagh. Tentatively titled “Into and Out of Africa,” the story is inspired by a real-life road trip the two took from Dublin to Marrakech, with two cats and a dog in tow. “It mixes the immigrant story with the family story,” he said. “Like ‘In America,’ except they’re going to Africa, not America.” The film follows a father and daughter as they traverse borders and cultures, deepening their understanding of one another along the way.

As for what’s next, Sheridan is deep into outlining “Into and Out of Africa,” and remains committed to returning audiences to a shared cinema experience. “I’d love to put the collective experience back into cinema,” he said, “and I will try.”
