Carmarthen Bay Film Festival 2022

Meet Davy. The things he sees. His streets, His mates, His girl and...The Boys. Pumping techno, pulverising movement and street-sharp poetry, East Belfast Boy is a cliché-free zone.

East Belfast Boy

FLUX (film) is about creating a space between now + then. Exploring the dynamism of emptiness in a realm where time + space are altered. Past, present and future are considered in the gaps in-between, blurring the boundaries between fact + fiction. Expressing emotions, ideas + concepts through literal + abstract imagery, through the creative use of editing + sound design incorpoating Irish Sean Nós song. Characters emphasise the fragile + emotional states of mankind, with prominence on dreamscapes + mindscapes. An oneiric land cinematically beautiful + psychologically disturbing. A world that explores significant topics such as death, loss, love, isolation + mental-fragility.

FLUX

It’s Belfast - early 70’s… BOOM! Something’s in the air and it’s not a bomb, it’s a revolution. Glam Rock is drowning out the noise of armoured cars. As British soldiers patrol the streets, kids are glued to Top Of The Pops, entranced by Marc Bolan, the androgynous, satin-clad, glitter-god. In a high-rise flat lives a recently bereaved father and his ten-year-old son PJ, who is desperate to get his hands on the new T. Rex album Electric Warrior. The problem is he’s skint and his Da is on the dole. PJ comes up with a cunning plan to get the dough, involving a sock, a prosthetic leg and a pawnbroker. Ruthless is a humorous, heartwarming story of how a prosthetic leg and a T. Rex album become the conduit for overcoming grief.

Ruthless

Curious about the wasteland beyond their barricaded home, he begs his Father to let him join his adventures. What he is met with however, contradicts everything he's even been told.

Safe Inside

Carmarthen Bay Film Festival 2021

‘Flicker’ is a character portrait of Danny (Peter Newington), a typical twenty-something, who finds himself struggling to accept the full extent of his injuries after an unprovoked assault.

Moving through the house-parties, nightclubs and bars of today’s Dublin, ‘Flicker’ explores the subtle pressures of contemporary Irish masculinity. It's a raw, visceral and intimate exploration of contemporary Irish youth culture, masculinity and trauma.

The film features a number of Ireland's most exciting up-and-coming actors: Peter Newington, Sean Doyle, Caoimhe Coburn Gray, Megan Bea-Tiernan, Tony Doyle and Robbie Dunne. Directed by award-winning filmmakers Luke Daly and Nathan Fagan. Produced by Aaron McEnaney, for Bold Puppy.

Logline:

In the aftermath of a violent assault, twenty-something Danny struggles to accept the full extent of his injuries.

Short Synopsis:

‘Flicker’ is a portrait of Danny (Peter Newington), a typical twenty-something Dubliner, who gets assaulted one night in a city centre nightclub. Escaping the incident with only minor injuries, Danny throws himself back into his old routine: early-morning classes, five-a-side football, late nights on the sesh with the lads.

Pretty soon, however, Danny begins to realise that the assault has affected him in more ways than one.

Long Synopsis:

Set in contemporary Dublin, ‘Flicker’ tells the story of Danny, a typical twenty-something, who becomes the victim of an unprovoked assault in a downtown nightclub. Walking away with only minor physical injuries, Danny launches himself back into his busy social life and his regular routine. As time goes on, however, the true impact of the assault begins to become clear.

Attempting to ignore the warning signs and to simply return to the party-hopping life he led before the assault, Danny begins to gradually unravel. Finally, at a hectic underground rave on the outskirts of Dublin, Danny’s internal crisis reaches its crescendo - and he finds himself acting in ways that will surprise even himself.

The film explores the ways in which young Irish men navigate and discuss trauma, mental health and emotional vulnerability. At its core, however, ‘Flicker’ is a portrait of a young man whose own internalized image of masculinity prevents him from acknowledging that he’s been hurt.

Flicker

Frankie is unwell. Borderline schizophrenic, manic depression and alcoholism. Unemployed and living in a bedsit in east London, he goes drinking on a random day with his best friend, where throughout, his mental state becomes increasingly and visibly clearer, creating an already intense situation and resulting in a sudden deadly climax.

Frankie

Irish American Poet Merv Nickleman and his good buddy Denisa Formánková discuss her experience and insights as a Bee Keeper while watching her fascinating, close up Bee footage. We are calling this our "bee on the hive" documentary rather than a fly on the wall documentary! The lovely Denisa is the inspiration for his poem My Honeysuckle Beekeeper which Merv also reads. Filmed entirely on Smartphones, HUAWEI P20 Pro smartphone.

My Honeysuckle Beekeeper
