Austerity demo on camera

Among the seven world premieres of Irish films to be screened at IndieCork is Donncha Ó Briain’s documentary, Peripheral Vision.

Ó Briain, who won a number of awards for The Revolution Will Not Be Televised, has zoned in on Ballyhea, County Cork for his new film. “It’s essentially about the local opposition to the financial crisis by the people of Ballyhea who march against austerity every Sunday,” says IndieCork director, Mick Hannigan.

Three Irish features are among the premieres. Trampoline, directed by Tom Ryan, is “a charming film about a young woman who comes back from London to live in Nenagh. It’s a typical indie film in that the drama comes out of little incidents. Aoife Spratt is brilliant in it.”
