Concorde Anois was a short lived film production company based in Ireland that operated in the late 1990s. It was an off shot of Roger Corman's Concorde Pictures.
History
Corman was invited to set up operations in Ireland but the Irish government, keen to develop filmmaking in the west of the country. He built studios in Connemara, County Galway.[1]
Around twenty films were made, using Irish crew and actors. They were mostly in exploitation genres such as action adventure, suspense thrillers, science fiction and horror[2]
The assistance provided by the Irish government became controversial when the content of some Corman productions such as Criminal Affairs was criticised in the press.[3][4][5][6][1]
