After Margaret, a divorcée living in Dublin, loses her teenage son, she develops an unorthodox relationship with Joe, a homeless youth. Their tentative trust is threatened by his involvement with a violent gang and the escalation of her ex-husband's grieving rage.

Adapted from James Joyce's Ulysses, Bloom is the enthralling story of June 16th, 1904 and a gateway into the consiousness of its three main characters: Stephen Dedalus, Molly Bloom and the extraordinary Leopold Bloom.

A teenage stranger is welcomed into a household in a devout Catholic village and gradually reveals his motives and what seem to be magical powers.

Loosely inspired by the director’s own memory of a girl’s disappearance from her village, the film follows Arlene, a young factory worker living alone in a rural Irish community.

Hum begins in the living-room of a derelict house engulfed by trees. A woman stands in the dilapidated room. The woman has come here in search of silence, of escape. From the urban din, the constant noise of her life. To silence the voice of a lover recently lost. She wants to leave behind even the possibility of communication. But she discovers that her search for silence is impossible. The closest she comes is playing a dumb piano into a still afternoon. Finally she goes in search of sound, to experience it in its full intensity, at deafening volume.

In a rare and potentially fatal feat of cinematic daring, "Dublin 26.06.08" was shot entirely between 12.01am and 11.59pm on Thursday June 26th 2008. This audacious cinematic collage offers both a unique snapshot of a single day in the life of Dublin and a vivid example of a bold guerrilla filmmaking model. The film is an eclectic, multi-authored impression of Dublin (within the bounds of the encircling M50 motorway) as it lived, died, breathed, made love, filled up and emptied, consumed, wept, was rained and shone upon, grew bright and then darkened again.

In Dublin’s industrial wastelands, pre-teen Kylie drives around in a stolen car, indulging her troubled imagination.  Her grieving mother is distant and unaware until a young Guard apprehends and brings her home. He is lenient in his caution, acknowledging the family has been through a difficult time.
