On September the 14th, UCC hosted the Ireland Wildlife Film Festival, which was the first festival of its kind in Ireland. The festival received submissions from around the world covering topics centered around wildlife, conservation, and species preservation.

How do we see and in what manner do we look? Since its inception, documentary filmmakers have debated what an ethical camera attitude to the world might be.

Join us on September 14th for the Ireland Wildlife Film Festival. The festival will be the first of its kind in Ireland and hopes to raise awareness to the increasing pressures faced by wild animals around the globe.

Women in Contemporary Irish Film – Symposium
From 1pm, Thursday 5 September 2019
Film & Screen Media Auditorium, Kane Building Basement B.10B
University College Cork

While 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. From the subversion of old tropes surrounding gendered stereotypes and roles, to the underlining of women’s place in and treatment through Irish history, contemporary depictions of women – as peripheral characters or protagonists – present fertile ground for exploring the societal and cultural trajectories of Ireland since the new Millennium.

The Film Artist in Residence role is jointly funded by UCC and the Arts Council, and is offered in association with the Cork Film Festival. It is designed to provide a screenwriter of distinction with a unique opportunity to develop his/her practice in a university environment, while offering students the opportunity to engage with a practising artist in a meaningful way during the course of their studies and their wider cultural involvement in campus life.
