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.
