LEEDS FILM FESTIVAL

SEAVIEW just screened at the Leeds Film Festival. And the programmers wrote this great synopsis for the film.

Mesmerising, cinematic and with an awesome sense of atmosphere, Seaview takes us on an almost Lynchian tour of a former Butlins holiday camp, now the 'home' for hundreds of refugees awaiting replies to appeals for asylum, some for 5 years. A superb human rights documentary which puts us inside the security patrolled grounds of this surreal world of waiting so that just for 82 minutes we might get some idea of the daily existence of thousands who live imprisoned in order to hopefully be free.

SEAVIEW AT THE IFI THIS SUNDAY

 

 

'IRELAND ON SUNDAY' SERIES AT THE IFI CONTINUES WITH 'SEAVIEW', A LOOK INSIDE MOSNEY, FORMERLY BUTLINS, NOW AN IMMIGRATION HOLDING CENTRE ON SUNDAY 20th^TH JULY 2008 AT 1PM

 

Over a three year period, filmmakers Nicky Gogan and Paul Rowley and sound artist Dennis MacNulty visited Mosney, formerly a Butlin's Holiday Camp. The film chronicles the static lives of the centre's occupants as they wait, in some cases for years, for the government to process their claims.  Disembodied voices tell grueling tales of persecution and exile over images of the camp's faded seaside glamour.

 

Selected for this year's Berlin Film Festival Forum and garnering great critical acclaim since, this Ireland on Sunday screening offers Dublin audiences a chance to see this highly innovative new work. Sunniva O'Flynn announcing the screening said 'Seaview, seen here for the first time outside the festival circuit, is a fine example of the kind of work which will feature in Ireland on Sunday. The film gives voice to the disenfranchised and is a fascinating example of how changes in Irish society are being explored and processed by film-making artists.'

 

Ireland on Sunday is a new strand of programming at the IFI which offers audiences and film-makers an opportunity to engage with new Irish work. Film artists Nicky Gogan and Dennis MacNulty will join the audience for a post-screening Q & A.

SEAVIEW review in The Wall Street Journal

The Berlin Film Festival's Forum section specializes in avant-garde films and works by new directors....Another powerful documentary is from Ireland, "Seaview," co-directed by Paul Rowley, an installation artist, and Nicky Gogan. Set in a former holiday camp near Dublin, the film chronicles the static lives of the camp's present occupants: asylum seekers from around the world, waiting - in some cases, for years - for the Irish government to process their claims. With an artist's eye, and with the help of an eerie electronic soundtrack, the filmmakers are able to combine the abstract quality of a video installation with the urgent stories of the people they interview.
