Docs Ireland presents the third programme of this year's Official Selections Shorts.
I WILL GO ON MISSING YOU TILL THEN
DIR. TRESCA MALLON | 12 MINS
Love letters written in 1960s Belfast echo through time and across borders and seas, in this poignant examination of intimacy in impossible circumstances.
SALT
DIR. CONALL MCCAULEY | 8 MINS
In a salt mine deep beneath the Antrim coast, a Seamus Heaney poem illuminates the delicate balance between the natural earth and man’s presence there.
PARADISE LOST
DIR. BRYN THOMAS | 19 MINS
A tribute to the football fans who make the pilgrimage across the Irish Sea to see Celtic play, as well as the devoted few who keep the embers of the former Belfast Celtic F.C. alive.
THE LIVE IS ON, BUT NOBODY’S HOME
DIR. RORY CARROLL | 5 MINS
The absurd ways in which we are forced to find comfort in our increasingly alienating and online world are brought to the fore in this essay film on homesickness and livestreams.
CARCAREL JIGS
DIR. EOGHAN RYAN | 27 MINS
Irish nationalism/Irish identity/Irish history/Irish architecture/Irish music/Irish TV/Irish protests all collide in this hallucinatory state of the nation piece to send chills down your spine.
