To coincide with Laura Fitzgerald's solo exhibition 'The Gecker Ones' at the Mill, we are delighted to present a screening of archive film work by experimental amateur filmmaker Flora Kerrigan. Flora was an active member of the Cork Cine Club during the late 1950s and 1960s, producing numerous Super 8 short films both live action and animation. Her films were recognised internationally and she won awards at prestigious amateur film competitions like 'Ten Best'. The work, which employs innovative animation techniques and deft editing, tackles themes of death, destruction and desire in a haunting, often darkly comedic mode.
The films will be accompanied live by Peadar-Tom Mercier and Ultan Lavery of Trá Pháidín.
Flora Kerrigan's films were recently rediscovered through the Women in Focus Film Archives project, and a collaboration between the IFI Irish Film Archive and Maynooth University.
Presented in association with the Irish Film Institute.
Free event, all welcome, booking is essential here.
