NATAN
Discover the untold story of Bernard Natan, the man who brought sound cinema to France and Cinemascope to the big screen before the word even existed. Rumours and lies have swarmed around his story for decades, and this documentary, directed by Paul Duane and David Cairns, finally aims to bring the truth to light.
WE ARE MOVING: MEMORIES OF MISS MORIARTY
Joan Moriarty was a visionary who beat the odds to realise her dream of bringing ballet to every corner of Ireland. Later accused of fabricating her professional dance training and of misrepresenting herself as a vanguard of the art, she left behind a remarkable legacy, examined in this stunning film directed by Claire Dix.
JIMMY MURAKAMI: NON-ALIEN
The late, great artist Jimmy Murakami was just eight when his Japanese-American family was sent to a concentration camp following the attack on Pearl Harbor. He later returned to this period by creating a series of paintings that illustrate his memories of the camp, in this moving documentary directed by Sé Merry Doyle.
DREAMTIME REVISITED
Inspired by the works of poet John Moriarty, Julius Ziz and Dónal Ó Céilleachair’s Dreamtime Revisited weaves contemporary and archive material to present a film mirroring Moriarty’s gaze upon contemporary and historical Ireland, retracing the island’s spiritual and poetic dimensions across the folds of her landscape.
