Clarke is one of Northern Ireland’s most exciting filmmakers, having made The Devil’s Doorway (2018) and written the Irish language screenplay for Doineann (2021), Damian McCann’s groundbreaking thriller, also produced by DoubleBand Films.

Fréamhacha is a Cine4 film produced by DoubleBand and Wildcard in Dublin. Meaning ‘roots’, Fréamhacha is the story of agency carer, Shoo (Clare Monnelly), assigned to look after elderly and frail, Peig (Bríd Ní Neachtain). The two women forge a bond, but past traumas from both their lives are woken and memories and nightmares merge into one.

Key cast members and the film’s director will be with us to talk through clips from this work in progress. Audience members are reminded that they are generously giving us an exclusive sneak preview of an unfinished film, offering a rare opportunity to gain insight into an ongoing creative process.
