Short Films

This was the first part of a double-header from RTS Republic of Ireland; the second, “How to get your short film made”, offered expert advice from Virgin Media and RTÉ executives.

Walking the Labyrinth, made with a crew of Doherty’s fellow students at Dundalk Institute of Technology’s Film and Television Production course, tells the story of artist Susan Farrelly, who was born in the Bessborough mother and baby home, which, like others in Ireland, carried out forced adoptions.

Supported by Film4, the Iris Prize’s shortlisted films explore the wide ranging and diverse experiences of the LGBT+ community in contemporary Britain, from childhood to old age, metropolitan to rural.

With tales of self-discovery and belonging, falling in and out of love and exploring the personal battles won and lost, the selected films will leave viewers in tears, laughter or with a sense of hope.

I Don’t Want To Talk About This

I Don’t Want To Talk About This stars Joe Cole and Adelayo Adedayo as two exes who reconnect and look back at their relationship, and reflect on the impact racism played on their love and friendship.

Thea (Adedayo) is a successful middle-class black woman and bumps into an old boyfriend Tom (Cole) while at a party and the pair start to talk.
