FILM SCHEDULE
Check the site for updates on the film schedule for the weekend of the 12-14 November. We have some really great stuff lined up, including:
Ladyfest Philadelphia.
This documentry by Anne Cremieux and Kerri Pyne follows the organisers of Ladyfest Philly as they kick of the festival the very day the war against Iraq starts. It gives an uncompromising view of the challenges, differences and passion that each woman brought to Ladyfest Philadelphia.
Turkle
This short by Dun Laoghaire graduate Jane Clancy is a tale of love, death and cardboard boxes. Oscar is seven, he lives in his own world, and after a death in the family occurs he deals with it by wearing a cardboard box. Oscar's heart, curiosity and his cardboard box take him on a journey of discovery. He gets the answer to his questions, all thanks to thinking inside his box.
Friend or Food
Directed by Grace Ma from Canada, this short follows three woman working with animals in different sectors. It asks the question of its audience and interviewees on how we see the realationship and differences berween our pets and meat consumption.
Real Men Don't Wear Togs.
Irish director Jennifer Keegan takes us to the Forty Foot, where for years men have come to bathe and swim every morning. It is to them a natural part of their everyday social routine. The film guides us through their reasoning, the history of the Forty Foot, and the women involved in the Forty Foot traditon.
The entire film line-up is available at http://www.ladyfestdublin.org/lineup-artfilm.shtml
ART & PHOTOGRAPHY
In case you didn't know, from tomorrow you can start getting into the Ladyfest swing of things by visiting some excellent exhibitions by women artists and photographers. Among artists exhibiting is painter Laura Cunningham, whose studies in shapes, textures and colours will be shown in Anthology Books (Meeting House Square), along with noted local artist Sarah Sheil, whose oils evoke the nightmarish chills of lullabies sung by a terrifying band of china dolls. Photographer Giita Hammond, originally from Iceland, shows her series of austere architectural images in the salubrious surroundings of Juice (Georges St), while photographs by Aisling McBride and Mary Conlon will be displayed in the Outhouse (Capel St). These exhibitions will be going on for the week prior to Ladyfest, and will finish on the 14th.
Weekend tickets are still available for Ladyfest at a cost of €30, from Road Records, Red Ink / Murder City Records and City Discs. More information, and the weekend schedule is now available on the site at http://www.ladyfestdublin.org/
