Award winners, filmmaker Emer O’ Shea and poet and playwright  Winifred McNulty present a collaboration of visual and poetic pieces. Emer will show her new short movie Cast a Cold Eye– a tribute to the late, great Sinead O Connor which explores the connections between one of Ireland’s most iconic and  best loved singer songwriters and her favourite poet, W.B. Yeats.  The film highlights both artists’ ability to capture human feelings of love and loss in their songs and poetry. The movie will reconnect you with the work of both creatives and appeal to admirers of either or both of them.  A short Q and A will follow the movie.

Winifred McNulty’s poetry film  was made in collaboration with Emer O’ Shea and is inspired by the journey of emigrants from West Donegal to Glasgow.  This work was supported by a Donegal Artists’ Bursary.

Winifred will also launch her poetry pamphlet The Weather on a Peninsula with a conversation with Olive Travers and also read some of her poems.  Winifred has published poems in numerous poetry journals and won the Yeats and Westport poetry prizes.  She was also shortlisted for this year’s Strokestown Poetry Festival.
