"This is a film about movement. It is a film about pain. It is a film about joy. It is a film about survival. Most of all, it is a film about being alive."⠀
⠀
Everything Alive is in Movement is a stunning short film, following four women who have suffered an acquired brain injury. To reclaim their power, each of the women in the film engages in a powerful act of movement & activity - taking to the stage, walking the battlements with their face covered in war-paint, twirling in a high-rise building, swimming laps in a pool. ⠀
⠀
An intimate and unique work, Everything Alive is in Movement is a portrait of connection & resilience. Check the link in our bio to rent!⠀

It’s Christmas Eve! Which means you’re either

It’s Christmas Eve! Which means you’re either still running around sorting those last minute bits or you’re looking for something to do. Whichever is you, you have time to watch a short film. (Or two. Or five!).

The Printer documentary is part of our #triskelrecommends series and looks at Field Printers in #Youghal, Co. Cork, a unique printing house and shop dating back to 1850, now run by Bill Field, the last in the family line.

The documentary was conceived and shot by filmmakers Michael Twomey and Kieran McCarthy of Complete Control Films. “The motivation for making the film was twofold,” says Michael Twomey. “Firstly, I was very attracted to the idea of shooting old metal and wood, particularly their worn industrial aspect because they make for very effective composition in the right light. The typefaces are so varied and beautiful and the whole place is steeped in a Victorian atmosphere.”

The print house and shop were ideal locations for the filmmakers who were keen to find a subject that would create space in between the white noise of constant hyper-stimuli of the modern age. “I love the dynamic between the mechanical rhythm of the printer and the long silences,” says Twomey. “The craftsmanship of the lettering, and the prints it produced, along with the time invested is in sharp contrast to our current gravitation to disposability. There is a haunting quality in such longevity and the stories the prints reveal. I was also determined to film Billy at work before the art of printing in this way is lost to us entirely. Secondly, the importance of the place in terms of heritage cannot be overstated.”

The documentary meditates on the dying art of handcrafted setting and printing processes and was originally screened at Triskel in 2016 as part of an exhibition showcasing artefacts from the workshop as well as archive posters from the 1930s and 1940s. Poster highlights included the original premiere poster for Moby Dick and a town council poster urging Youghal natives to delay implementing the new regime of changing the clocks for Daylight Saving Time.

This beautifully-shot #documentary is available on demand until 3 Jan 2021 for just €2.50! ⭐️Link in bio

During the first lockdown, when Triskel Arts Centr

During the first lockdown, when Triskel Arts Centre was unable to screen movies as a collective experience and people were staying at home in self-isolation, we decided to highlight quality films which we thought our patrons would enjoy. Each week we mixed movies to rent and movies which were free to view, international and national cinema, and links to streaming sites and content that we curated ourselves.

Now we’re doing it again! We know the Christmas break isn’t a lockdown but people are still cosying up at home and we wanted to suggest a few short films for you to rent and enjoy. Some were screened at Triskel Cinema, one appeared as part of an exhibition in 2016 and one is a world premiere. These are available to rent on demand from Monday 21 December 2020 until Sunday 3 January 2021.
