In this module, we will explore both Irish cinema and Irish film studies. During the semester, we will examine Irish cinema in the twentieth century as well as focusing on the contemporary moment. The module is timetabled in parallel to the Dublin International Film Festival and will engage with new Irish work that will be premiered at the festival. Beyond the films themselves, it will consider their industrial and institutional contexts, including not only the film festival but also such organizations as the Irish Film Board and the Irish Film Institute. If you are taking this module, you should be prepared to travel to Dublin to experience the film festival and to attend regular on-campus screenings associated with weekly seminars.
