7 items

Our inaugural playlist, curated by director Lenny Abrahamson - renowned for his multi-Academy Award nominated Room (2015) and acclaimed independent films like Adam & Paul (2004), Garage (2007), What Richard Did (2012) and Frank (2014) - visits the Irish Film Institute to select his favourite material preserved in the IFI Irish Film Archive from the IFI Player. The films he has selected - from early stop-motion playfulness in Clock Tower Animation (1910s) to homemade sci-fi/horror by cinema-enthusiasts the Spence twins - span decades and counties, but all demonstrate a fascination and experimentation with film and story-telling that informs his unique way of seeing the world.
