Women in Contemporary Irish Film – Symposium. Thursday 5th Sep from 1pm, UCC.
28 Aug 2019Women in Contemporary Irish Film – Symposium
From 1pm, Thursday 5 September 2019
Film & Screen Media Auditorium, Kane Building Basement B.10B
University College CorkWhile male-centred narrative has dominated much of twenty-first-century Irish film, female characters have continued to provide some of the most memorable, and sociopolitically significant, moments on the contemporary screen.
