My Brother Jeremy (Luke De Brun)

In this atmospheric horror, a child tells us about his beloved, yet strange older brother, Jeremy, who only comes out at night and loves to play hide and seek. Shot on Hi8 with an ambient, droning musical score, the Santiago Horror Festival described this film as "a superbly crafted atmosphere that makes your flesh crawl".

Ebb Tide (Colum Huggins) is a word and music tribute to the creator's late Father Liam Higgins. The words and images evoke memories of walks past and present. The talented Aoife Cudmore composed and performed music in response to the words and images.

How To Make A Magic Carpet (Bernie Masterson)

A collaboration between Irish poet Máighréad Medbh and artist Bernie Masterson

The spell for the manufacture and use of a magic carpet was handed down in grimoires and in this incarnation it is four times translated. By Sirdar Ikbal AliShah, an Indian-Afghan author who recorded it; by Gustav Davidson, poet and author, who gives it in his scholarly Dictionary of Angels; by Máighréad Medbhwho made a poem of it; and by Bernie Masterson, who has translated it into a modern visual allegory.  In this work, the use of colour, light, camera angles and composition creates three landscapes: physical, ethereal and psychological. Together they set the stage for a narrative of self-discovery with  paintings referenced by John Everett Millais wonderful ‘Ophelia’ and ‘The Lovers’  by René Magritte.
