Irish Doc 'Skin in the Game' to screen in IFI
The IFTA award-nominated documentary SKIN IN THE GAME directed by Donald Taylor Black will receive its first Dublin screening at the IFI on Tuesday 12th March at 6.30pm.
The documentary which premiered at the Cork Film Festival last November examines the current financial crisis through the responses of a number of Irish artists who are using it as subject matter for their work.
Participants include: Christy Moore (musician); Seán Hillen (photographer); Rita Ann Higgins (poet); Brian Maguire (painter); David Quin (animator); Anthony Haughey (photographer); Nicky Gogan (filmmaker); David Bolger (choreographer); Gerald Dawe (poet); and David Monahan (photographer) as they look at emigration, ghost estates and the legacy of politicians and bankers. Roddy Doyle has written texts for the film that are voiced by actors including Lorcan Cranitch and Hilda Fay.
Donald Taylor Black, Brian Maguire and Roddy Doyle will participate in a post-screening Q&A with broadcaster, Vincent Woods.
