An announcement from Ireland for New York-based Frameworks folk:
Six programmes of contemporary Irish underground films will be screened at New
York's Spectacle Theater over three Thursdays: November 7th, November 21st and
December 5th.
Says programmer Donal Foreman:
Irish cinema has never been renowned for harboring a vibrant underground or
experimental film scene. There have been significant exceptions
(most importantly, aspects of the Irish “First Wave” of the 1970s), but
it’s only in recent years that a body of films has emerged that offer a
powerful rebuttal to that perception. While to announce a fully-fledged
“movement” would be premature, it is safe to say that the work of the
four filmmakers featured in this series – Rouzbeh Rashidi, Maximilian Le Cain,
Dean Kavanagh and Michael Higgins – represent an important new
direction in Irish cinema.
