Dir: Shane Hogan and Tom Burke Ireland / 2009 / 90 minutes Cert: CLUB. The Film Directors will attend the screening on the night.
The Liberties is the film equivalent of a portrait gallery. A series of 15 beautifully crafted short films, each focuses on a different character within Dublin’s Liberties community.
For example, we meet the man who raised seven daughters in a two bedroom flat; the stone sculptor set to retire after sixty years of work; the evangelical church reaching out with bingo and the Oscar winning actress who would live nowhere else in the world.
In honouring each individual The Liberties becomes a wonderful celebration of this unique community. – Stranger Than Fiction Festival 2009
