'Dreamtime Revisited' – celebrating John Moriarty

On Wednesday, 19th June at 8pm, Friars’ Gate will screen 'Dreamtime Revisited', a walkabout in dreamtime Ireland inspired by the works of Irish writer, poet and philosopher, John Moriarty (1938–2007).

The film weaves together contemporary and archive material with excerpts from some of Moriarty’s key talks, in a labyrinthine invocation of what he called his 'dream-vision' of Ireland. The film mirrors Moriarty’s gaze upon the face of contemporary and historical Ireland and explores the spiritual and poetic dimensions of its people and landscape weaving a rich tapestry of sound and image.

‘…a transcendentally beautiful film. . . a technical triumph’- Irish Times

'A magical, hallucinatory feast of wonders. I emerged from the cinema spellbound and soul-bathed' - Mike Scott (The Waterboys)

Tickets €6, booking at www.friarsgate.ie or call 063-98727.
