Locations
The Banshees of Inisherin was released in October 2022 and was filmed on sites across Achill Island and Inis Mór.
Gleeson's character
Colm's seaside cottage was a small whitewashed house located on Keem Beach in Achill, historically used in the early 1900s by fishermen hunting basking sharks. Permission was granted by the local owners for the cottage to be featured in the film.
Meanwhile, the film's
confessional scenes were filmed in Achill Island's only Protestant church. Confession boxes had to be brought in and removed after filming, with heating installed in the building afterward as a gesture of appreciation.
