Screening of 'Talking to My Father', documentary by Sé Merry Doyle; 90 minutes
‘Talking to my Father’ features two voices from two eras each concerned with how we as a nation understand the architecture that surrounds our lives. Modern architecture in Ireland reached a high point in the early sixties and one of its most celebrated and influential figures was Robin Walker. ‘Talking to My Father’ is also an emotionally charged conversation between the son Simon and the father Robin, meditating on the times they walked hand in hand and the time they drifted apart. A quarter of a century after his premature death, Simon addresses his father again and explores the legacy of his life’s work.
This film is part of the screening programme 'Art, Class and Politics: Exploration through Film' which is curated by film curator Alice Butler. Alice introduces each film and moderates a post-screening discussion.
All welcome.
