FILM
Moonage Daydream Wednesday 11th January
David Bowie was one of the most prolific and influential artists of our time. Working
most notably in music and film, Bowie also explored various other art forms:
dance, painting, sculpture, video collage, screenwriting, acting and live
theatre.
Moonage Daydream is the first film sanctioned by the
Bowie estate. In 2017, the estate presented filmmaker
Brett Morgen unfiltered access to Bowie’s archives,
including all master recordings, to create an artful
and life-affirming journey through David Bowie’s
creative life. Over five years, Morgen constructed a
genre-defying cinematic experience that grapples with
spirituality, and time to reveal the celebrated icon in his
own voice.

People Wipe Me
Thursday 2nd February
‘People Wipe Me’ is a one-woman show about a contrary
woman with wonky eyes. Derbhile Graham is partially
sighted. In plain English, that means she doesn’t see very
well. And this has given her freedom to be a contrarian, a
woman who is not afraid to swim against the tide, even if
it makes her arms sore.
Over 60 minutes, she takes us on a tour of her world, a
world full of lumps and bumps for her feet to trip on. Her
style could be described as confessional comedy. She
makes people laugh, but she also encourages them to ask
themselves an important question:
Am I willing to pay the price for being myself?

The Peculiar Sensation
of Being Pat Ingoldsby
Wednesday 8th February
This creative documentary investigates the
idiosyncratic world of Irish writer Pat Ingoldsby.
Ingoldsby’s poems and candid anecdotes bear
witness to a visceral relationship with his beloved
Dublin and its many social, institutional, and
architectural changes over 80 years. He is fondly
remembered as an eccentric 1980s TV presenter
(Pat’s Hat, Pat’s Chat) and more recently as a
stalwart of the Dublin streets where he recites and
sells his many books of poetry.
Seamus Murphy has crafted a moving and entertaining portrait of a maverick who has faced
personal challenges with apparent equanimity finding balm in his writing which infuses the banality
of the everyday with surreal humour.
‘A charming and illuminating portrait of the people’s poet uncovers his fascinating background.’

Return to Dust
Wednesday 12th April
A tender tale about the transformative nature of love,
Return to Dust — the sixth film by acclaimed Chinese
director Li Ruijun — expands into a poignant story of
resilience against the conventions of society and the
exploitation of farm workers.
Shot entirely in Li Ruijun’s home province of Gansu,
against the backdrop of majestic sand dunes, Return
to Dust draws from the extreme beauty of the region’s
barren landscape for the stark poetry and the intense
simplicity of its absorbing storytelling.
