Other participants include Mary Evans, Professor Luke Gibbons, Dr Declan Long, John Logan, Catalina Lozano, Dr Aislinn O'Donnell, Grant Watson and a screening of Our Kind (2016) by Alan Phelan.
And then...hosted by Blindboy Boatclub of the Rubberbandits
Thursday 14th July @ 7pm
Mother Macs Pub
Free
Blindboy Boatclub of the Rubberbandits will host the last edition of the popular “And then…” at Mother Macs.
And then… is a spoken word film festival created by #EVA16 artist Liam Gillick whereby members of the public take turns at a microphone to tell the plot a film. However, there is no indication of what film is being described.
It is open and there are no rules. There are no limitations on how you present the film, it can be long, short, funny or inventive!
Bring a movie in your head, share the plot and take to the mic as many times as you like.
