The Butcher Boy movie that was filmed in County Monaghan is 25 years old this year.
The 1997 Irish black comedy film was directed by Neil Jordan and filmed on location in Clones.
The film was based on Patrick McCabe's 1992 novel of the same name and McCabe co-wrote the screenplay with Jordan.
The movie made 5 million dollars at the box office at the time.
The film is set in Ireland in the early 1960s in the small town of Clones.
Francie Brady the main character is a 12-year-old boy whose imagination is fueled by television - aliens, communists, the Atomic Age.
Casting the child to play Francie was difficult. With no previous filming experiences, Eamonn Owens and Alan Boyle who played Francie's best friend, Joe were found at the local school in Killeshandra in County Cavan.
The film won the Silver Bear for Best Director at the 48th Berlin International Film Festival in 1998 and a Special Mention for Cavan teenager Eamonn Owens for his "astonishing lead" role.
