Preceding the screening of The Curious Works of Roger Doyle, Cork Film Festival is honoured that its subject, the composer Roger Doyle, will perform his track ‘Wassane’. It will be played to accompany footage, shot by the director, Brian Lally, in Beijing in 2012, which did not make the final cut of the film.

‘I was influenced by Godard and Brecht. But, more than that, with Maeve, anytime I sat down and tried to create a straightforward film with a beginning, middle and end, it just wouldn’t work.’ Pat Murphy

Following a special screening of Maeve, Pat Murphy – Film Artist in Residence at UCC and one of Ireland’s most radical filmmakers – talks to Vanessa Gildea of Women in Film & TV Ireland about her career.

Pat Murphy, Film Artist in Residence (Screenwriter) at UCC 2018/19, is supported by the Arts Council.
