Clodagh
A priest’s housekeeper in rural Ireland finds herself caught in a malaise, her life dedicated only to the church and its interests. When running an Irish dance class she encounters a young girl with exceptional talent which shakes the boundaries of her quiet cloistered life. A measured and subtle exploration of the integral, thankless and confining roles that women play in Irish society.
Fadó, Fadó
It’s 2AD and Ulster is at threat from the advancing hordes of Queen Meabh’s army. When brother and sister Con and Rían discover the body of legendary Irish warrior Cú Chulainn, distraught at the notion of an alternative Ulster, they come up with a daring scheme to ward the army off. Ancient history is brought to life with a real sense of excitement and energy in this entertaining short.
Night Glances
The end of leaving certs, the end of school, the end of an era for friends Nicole and Erika. This depiction of a drug-infused night out becomes a sensitive portrait of a queer relationship in chrysalis. Funny, awkward, tender and uplifting; the gamut of human emotion is covered in this warm embrace of a film.
