Bloomsday Film Festival: Adam & Paul/An Encounter

GET TICKETS

20th anniversary screening of Lenny Abrahamson’s first feature. Written by Mark O’Halloran about the addicts he encountered in Dublin’s inner city, it follows the Ulyssean wanderings of Adam and Paul through the streets of Dublin looking for their next fix. It is an astonishing work shot through with an absurdist and often comic vision in the service of a deeply sensitive portrait of drug addiction with utterly convincing central performances of O’Halloran and the late, wonderful Tom Murphy.

Also screening: An Encounter. An adaptation by Mark O’Halloran of Joyce’s unsettling short story. Dir. Kelly Campbell, 20 mins, Ireland, 2022 35mm.

An introduction by Mark O’Halloran will explore Joycean connections.

‘Whenever I am obliged to lie with my eyes closed I see a cinematograph going on and on and it brings back to my memory things I had almost forgotten.’ – James Joyce.

Ireland’s most literary film festival. Set up as a celebration of cinema, literature, and artistic innovation, inspired by the long reaching arm of Ireland’s patriarch of modernism, James Joyce. The festival is run in partnership with the Bloomsday Festival & the James Joyce Centre and will run between the 11th – 16th June, with screenings taking place at the historic James Joyce Centre and the IFI.

Like last year, we will celebrate the birthday of W.B Yeats on the 13th of June with a selection of Poetry and Literature short films. On the 14th, in keeping with Joyce’s radical and experimental spirit, we will screen the best Experimental Films. On the 15th, the anniversary of the publications of Dubliners, we will dedicate to Dublin with screenings of Joycean short films and Dublin Short Stories. We will also have many more special events between the 11th – 16th, as well as on Bloomsday itself of course, the 16th, and will screen the feature films in the evenings.

We want to encourage artistic innovation within the medium, artists who do things their own way, and films that seek to push the craft forward, as Joyce did so greatly within his own craft of literature.

Bloomsday Film Festival: The Disembodied Adventures of Alice

June 16th, 15:20 – The Disembodied Adventures of Alice
GET TICKETS

This hallucinatory trip, an adult fairytale, travels through a long, dark night conjuring otherworldly scenes of kink, gender-swapping, mental illness, loss and loneliness. Reimagining Lewis Carroll’s iconic Alice, the film’s protagonist journeys though a warren of bewildering scenarios where she encounters characters who are at once beguiling and alienating – gliding, writhing, gorging, dancing, and uttering passages from Joyce’s Finnegans Wake. Their world promises as much danger as sensual delight. This is the first feature film from Cléa van der Grijn, an internationally acclaimed, award-winning, visual artist and independent film maker based in Sligo.

Cléa van der Grijn will join a post-screening Q&A with Tommy Creagh, director of the Bloomsday Film Festival.

Bloomsday at the James Joyce Centre

Written by Conor on . No Comments on Bloomsday at the James Joyce Centre

The James Joyce Centre welcomes you to its doors to celebrate the greatest time of the year — Bloomsday!

The James Joyce Centre is proud to organise the Bloomsday Festival on behalf of the city of Dublin. As a token of our appreciation to Dublin and all the participants of Bloomsday, we will be open free of charge on Sunday, June 16th from 9:30am to 4:30pm. Come see Leopold Bloom’s door from No. 7 Eccles Street, where it all began. Browse our exhibitions, parlour rooms, and interactive guides to Joyce’s life and work. Marvel at the beautifully preserved 18th century townhouse, a stunning example of high Georgian architecture. See the Maginni Room, named after “Mr Denis J Maginni, professor of dancing &c,” the real-life dance instructor who used the room as his dance studio and is mentioned in Ulysses! There will be readings, talks, music, children’s events, and fun throughout the day!

Feel free to dress up in your finest bowler hats and Edwardian garb as you join visitors from around the world for an unparalleled literary occasion. For more information, visit our website at www.jamesjoyce.ie.

We hope to see you there!
