Out of Frame is Cork’s new Film Talk in the upstairs of the Roundy. Every month we invite filmmakers to present their work before participating in a discussion where we learn more about their background and their specific roles, and get a unique insight into the stories behind their films. Followed by an open Q&A, Out of Frame serves as a platform to showcase Cork’s talented and diverse film community and to provide a space for exchange and connection among filmmakers.
