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.
