Mitchell, making him the first Irishman to shoot a film within Ireland. Despite early exposure to the filmmaking process, Ireland did not develop a regular film industry until the late 1910s when James Mark Sullivan established the Film Company of Ireland. Since that time, Ireland has played host to many famous films about the country—\u003ci\u003eMan of Aran\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Quiet Man\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Crying Game\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eMy Left Foot\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eBloody Sunday\u003c\/i\u003e—as well as others not about the country—\u003ci\u003eBraveheart\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eSaving Private Ryan\u003c\/i\u003e.
