I, Dolours | Thursday, May 12 at 7pm
A cinematic yet intimate and complex portrait of Dolours Price, militant IRA activist, hunger striker and dissident Republican who, two years before she died, gave a filmed interview on the condition that it would not be broadcast until after she passed. Now for the first time her story can be told in full and entirely in her own words.
Citizen Lane | Friday, May 13 at 7pm
An innovative mix of documentary and drama delivering a vivid and compelling portrait of Hugh Lane, one of the most fascinating and enigmatic figures in modern Irish history. Moving, funny and full of drama, Hugh Lane’s story, told for the first time on film, is set in Dublin in the early years of the 20th century—a time of political ferment and the forging of a new Irish cultural identity. It describes the young art dealer’s hard-fought project to establish a public modern art gallery, showing the work of living artists, his untimely death on the Lusitania, and his contested Will.
