About Bloomsday Film Festival

Ireland’s most literary film festival was established as a celebration of cinema, literature, and artistic innovation, inspired by the far-reaching influence of Ireland’s father of modernism, James Joyce. The festival is presented in partnership with the Bloomsday Festival and the James Joyce Centre, and runs from 11–16 June, with screenings hosted at the historic James Joyce Centre and the Irish Film Institute (IFI). Alongside its cinematic programme, the Bloomsday Film Festival presents a diverse range of events, including director Q&As, workshops, musical performances, and poetry readings. At its core, the festival is committed to fostering artistic innovation - championing filmmakers who forge their own paths and create work that pushes the boundaries of the medium, in the same pioneering spirit that defined Joyce’s literary legacy.

May 23, 2023 Film Ireland Presents: 406 Days Fergus Dowd, Producer & Carol Ann Bridgeman, Ex-Debenhams worker
In this Film Ireland podcast, Gemma Creagh talks to Producer Fergus Dowd and Ex-Debenhams worker Carol Ann Bridgeman about 406 Days.The film tells the story of the 1,000 Irish Debenhams workers who were made redundant through a generic email on the 9th of April 2020 after Debenhams UK Retail Ltd closed all 11 Irish stores including their flagship store on Henry St. Dublin 1. The workforce, 95% female, had been denied an earlier agreed redundancy package.They voted to go on official strike and blocked stock being removed from the 11 stores by the liquidator. The workers remained on the picket lines, through the Covid 19 pandemic for 406 days, making it the longest industrial dispute in Irish labour history. It finally ended in May 2021 through a compromise government-sponsored proposal based on a retraining fund.But the telling of the very human stories of courage, determination, and friendship that lay behind the conflict are told here for the first time in ‘406 days-The Debenhams Picket Line’.406 Days opens at cinemas across the country on 26th May 2023.

April 21, 2023 Film Ireland Presents: Sinéad O'Shea, Director of Pray for Our Sinners
In this Film Ireland podcast, Gemma Creagh talks to Sinéad O’Shea about her film Pray for Our Sinners.Pray for Our Sinners documents Sinéad’s return to her hometown in Navan in search of those who fought against the Catholic Church and discovers the ways in which local people found a way to resist. It is a film of unexpected twists as it chooses to shine a light on those who attempted to stand up to the church in a quiet but deeply moving resistance. Pray for Our Sinners is not a straightforward narrative of sinners and victims. The story which emerges is a nuanced account of Catholicism and its role in Irish life. It focuses on the tradition of silence in Ireland and how difficult it has been for the people from Sinéad’s hometown to articulate the suffering they endured. It is only through old friendships and neighbourly connections that we hear previously untold testimonies from mother and baby homes, and stories from within school classrooms about corporal punishment. By taking such a personal approach, Sinéad has crafted a fresh account of how Catholicism wielded such power in Ireland since it gained independence. Through the voices of its gently heroic characters, Pray for Our Sinners depicts a society full of love, hope and understanding. As the film says, “There is always a way to resist.” Pray for Our Sinners is in cinemas from 21st April 2023.Link to buy Q&A tickets at https://linktr.ee/breakoutpicturesPray for Our Sinners is screening throughout Ireland: https://www.breakoutpictures.com/movie/pray-for-our-sinners/i
