There’s no better way to ease back into the week after a Bank Holiday than with a fantastic film event! We have two pairs of tickets to give away to IRISH FOCUS: Trish McAdam in Conversation at the IFI this Tuesday.
About the Event
On Tuesday May 7th at 6.30pm in the IFI McAdam will be joined by filmmaker Dean Kavanagh for a free-flowing conversation about her career in film, her exploration of new visual modes of storytelling and film artistry. The interview will include screenings of McAdam’s recent works below.
Since production of her early shorts in the 1980s, Trish McAdam has created a vibrant and varied body of work, embracing a range of forms and subjects and retaining a distinct, independent voice.
STRANGERS TO KINDNESS
This formally playful, animated memoir reveals McAdam, in dialogue with herself, played by a young actor as she reimagines a story from the 1980s about a trip to America, the naievete of youth, and a narrow escape.
