Living Colour, A New Documentary Focusing on an Extraordinary Irish Artist Collective to Screen in the IFI Sunday 31st July
Living Colour an 83-minute observational documentary film directed by Eamon Little will screen this Sunday, July 31st in the IFI as part of their Ireland on Sunday programme.
The film explores the world of an artists' collective in Co. Kilkenny which focuses on the artists' abilities instead of their special needs. It is an intimate and often hilarious portrayal of the charming and vibrant characters and, as it takes us farther into their unique world, it throws up questions about the deeply human need to make art. Living Colour is, in itself, a celebration of what it is to be human.
Filmed over a 12 month period in the K.C.A.T studio in Callan, Co. Kilkenny, director Éamon Little gained unique intimate access to the studio and the artists. In this film the audience is taken on a journey into the creative processes of five extraordinary and idiosyncratic artists; Lorna, Karl, Andrew, Declan and Francis, as they create paintings, sculptures and animations in an atmosphere free from ego.
IFI Ireland on Sunday is a monthly programme of screenings which showcases new fiction and documentary works and provides a space for audiences to engage with the filmmakers. Director Éamon Little will participate in a post-screening Q+A with writer/actor Mark O'Halloran.
Living Colour was produced by Martha O'Neill and Adrian McCarthy for Wildfire Films with funding from Bord Scannán na hÉireann/the Irish Film Board, RTÉ and BAI.
Living Colour will screen in the IFI on Sunday 31st July at 12.00.
