MISSING GREEN – Anne Maree Barry (2013)

Missing Green is a poetic journey through Cork Street, Dublin. Two parallel stories inter mesh to create one underlying narrative. Combining documentary research with documentary drama – a series of interviews make up the film’s narration whilst the camera captures a girl’s journey through the urban landscape of which they speak.

Anne Maree Barry is a film artist based in Dublin. Barry’s experimental short films have screened internationally and her work has also been installed in a gallery context at The LAB, Dublin and the Tampere Art Museum, Finland.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

DMC-13 – Paul Rowley (2013)

DMC-13 is a short video produced on analog video synthesisers at the Experimental Television Center in New York. The film uses images from a documentary on John DeLorean – the ill fated automobile manufacturer – who opened his luxury sports car factory in Belfast at the height of the troubles in the north of Ireland. As the US car industry collapsed, and DeLorean was arrested for alleged cocaine smuggling, his dream of ‘affordable luxury’, which had spent over £100 million of taxpayers money, also perished. Music is by Till By Turning.

Paul Rowley is a visual artist and filmmaker. He first began making films in 1995. Since then he has completed over 30 shorts, feature films, video installations, and documentaries. Previous screenings include – Centre Pompidou Paris, Hammer Museum Los Angeles, Forum Expanded at the Berlin Film Festival, Photographers’ Gallery, London, Museum of Modern Art Dublin. He recently completed a 60 screen permanent installation at Los Angeles International Airport.
