Each year, it selects new members carefully, based on their experience, contributions, and potential to add to the global film community.

Succession's Brian Cox coming to Ireland for VERY special show
Succession star Brian Cox is set to bring his first-ever one-man show to Ireland with a show in Dublin's National Concert Hall on October 6 and in Belfast's Waterfront on October 7. Best known for his embodiment of the infamous character Logan Roy from the international hit Succession, for which he received a Golden Globe, Cox now returns to tell his own life story on the stage. In his first ever one man show, It's All About Me!, Cox is said to take the viewer 'from the backstreets of Dundee to starring in Hollywood blockbusters, a journey full of laughter and pathos. 'Expect candour,' the official description continues, 'searing honesty, and hilarious stories. Not known for pulling his punches, an evening with Brian Cox is like no other.' Speaking to Hot Press in 2023, Cox had reflected on his first project since the end of Succession, Prime Video's Bond-inspired adventure series, 007: Road To A Million, explaining his choice to work on the series by saying: 'I'm always up for a new adventure.' 'That's how you keep young when you get to my age,' he continued, 'by not ruling anything out. You just go, 'Okay, I'll see what happens.'' Tickets for Brian Cox's Irish shows in October go on sale next Tuesday, July 1, here.
