Fluent Dysphasia

2004 · 16 min · ★ 7.0 · Comedy, Drama

Starring Academy Award Nominee Stephen Rea as Murph, who has little to say to his teenage daughter. He wakes one morning after a drunken night out, to find that he can only speak fluent Irish, something he could never do before, and that he has completely forgotten how to speak English. The situation leads to genuine, if unorthodox, communication between father and daughter. There's nothing funny about fluent dysphasia...

Dublin 26.06.08: A Film in 4 Days
2008
MovieAnimationComedy
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.
