The second programme of films in the Docs Ireland: Short Irish Documentary Competition considers faith and perspective.
These films explore how identity is forged through what we believe in, what we enjoy, the stories we’re raised on and how we express it. How we imagine the future is rooted in how we view the past.
Relic - dir. Sam Howard
A blood-stained bandage that once belonged to Padre Pio now belongs to Father Brendan. Every month, people make a pilgrimage up Black Mountain to be blessed by this holy relic.
Something in the Air - dir. Niamh Barry
Storm chaser, climate advocate and trans woman Raychel Sanner lives and works in the heart of Tornado Alley. We hear her stories and follow her into the eye of the storm in this sensitive yet urgent portrait.
Ultraviolet - dir. Susan Hughes
A phantasmagoric portrait of Donegal as a hauntological goldmine. Stories bleed from every pore, revealing a rich tapestry of folklore, fairylands, and the construction of Disneyland Paris.
Children of Here - dir. Rabie Mustapha
How do the next generation see the world? This film hands the camera to the children of Generation Alpha, letting them have their say.
The Militant Homosexual Evangelist - dir. Eva Babington
On city centre streets, homophobic preachers spout hate and vitriol yet face little resistance. Brian begins counter-protesting, a commitment which challenges his faith and his personal relationships.
