Work is progressing well on the two Reel Art projects selected in 2014:
Meet Miss Moriarty, from director Claire Dix and
Chile: The Art of Making Do from the Desperate Optimists. The films will be premiered at the Dublin International Film Festival in February 2016.
Meet Miss Moriarty is a film about the remarkable and ground-breaking first lady of Irish ballet, and a bold exploration of the film-making process itself. Joan Denise Moriarty was an inspirational artist who overcame enormous odds in her day and someone who, after her death, is still causing controversy.
Chile: The Art of Making Do is a poetic journey into the idea of the cinematic location through a compelling character in Irish social and political history, Ambrose O'Higgins. The compelling narrative of Ambrose O'Higgins underpins the documentary and is explored through the artistic filter of location and the creative processes entailed.
