After discovering his wife's infidelities, Gerry leaves London to look after his deceased brother's business and family in Singapore. Discovering a foreign world of opportunity that had not existed before gives Gerry a chance at starting over by slipping into his brother's life - both emotionally and physically. However, leaving his wife and child behind in the UK is not so easy as Gerry must choose between becoming his brother's alter ego 'Mister John' or returning to London to face his failing relationship.
The perfect English arcadia gives way to varying kinds of misfortune, disruption and violence. With more than a passing reference to the 'narrative' paintings by masters such as Bruegel, this single-take 9-minute short is about a lazy Sunday afternoon that goes horribly wrong.
A father returns to work.
Discussions in a town hall.
Short film set on a boat
Poetic images of a city in change and the world of experience of its inhabitants, filmed in misty long takes in Cinemascope. A sense of loss is predominant in this meditative work about the relationship between the city and the people. An ambitious film made with the help of 160 Liverpudlians and shot in 10 scenes at different locations in the city.
A group of young people receives therapy in the City Hall of Manchester.
Originally created as a series of short films by writer/directors Joe Lawlor and Christine Molloy, Civic Life features seven vignettes focusing on life in the United Kingdom, each photographed in a single shot in the CinemaScope aspect ratio.
Staged as a series of voiceover sessions, written with gloriously off-balanced precision and dipped in the color green, THE FUTURE TENSE unfolds as a poignant tale of tales, exploring the filmmakers’ own experiences in aging, parenting, mental illness, along with the brutal history that lies submerged beneath Ireland’s heavy, moist earth.
