Stephen McCauley talks to writer and film director Jamie O鈥橰ourke about his short film 鈥楥alf鈥� - a powerful tale touching on the theme of domestic abuse. It has already won an award for 鈥淏est Live Action Short Film鈥� at the Irish Film & Television Academy Awards this year and has now qualified to be considered for the 2025 Oscars. His first feature is currently in development. Michael McEvoy, dancer and choreographer shares the inspiration behind his new play 鈥楾he Gate House鈥� to the Belfast International Arts Festival - a young man鈥檚 love for Belfast and stories of heartbreak and hope passed down from generation to generation. And actress Caoimhe Farren talks taking on the main role in a new adaptation of Federico Garcia Lorca鈥檚 鈥榊erma鈥�, a radical re-telling of a tale of passion and obsession, and the politics of motherhood, set in a parochial village on the Irish border. They each talk about the relationship between actor and director, the importance of rejection and failure, and why family dynamics make for such good stories.
