Capturing the turmoil and aftermath of the Easter Rising, these nine short films were commissioned by the Irish Film Board to commemorate 1916. Young Irish film talent at its best.

The Proclamation of the Irish Republic is the inspiration for this group exhibition of filmworks with short presentations by the artists especially for Nuit Blanche.

Open to all, this conference explores the influence of Paris on the evolution of Irish political and cultural thought up to the 1916 Rising and the birth of the Irish Free State. It closes with a screening of the landmark documentary ‘1916’ shown on RTE television.

Using Trinity College Dublin as a backdrop, this specially commissioned film focuses on a number of forgotten episodes in Irish history and the current political climate in Ireland.

Selling all sorts of 1916 memorabilia, ‘The Souvenir Shop’ nods to Tom Clarke’s tobacconist shop and questions attitudes towards violence, commemoration and national identity.
