Songs of Blood and Destiny
Infused with Beckettian humour and honesty, an acclaimed playwright casts a cold eye on Homo Sapiens – past, present and future – and considers humankind’s collective bequest to the universe in the light of our likely future extinction. Evoking imagined inner voices of giants of the narrative form – Antigone, Joan of Arc, Oedipus, and the last of the Neanderthals – the film is a playful intellectual feast. Using live footage, animation and music to create a cinematic immersion the film pulsates with vivid performances from renowned actors Eileen Walsh, Brian Gleeson, Cathy Belton and Brian Quinn and newcomers Holly Sturton and Ella Lilly Hyland.
Marina Carr’s epic poemiGirl has been reimagined into this genre-defying feature film by veteran filmmaker and artist Trish McAdam.
