 Emmanuelle-Bercot

Emmanuelle Bercot
After moving to Paris in 1988, Irish artist John Lalor has since exhibited widely in both countries. Having started in
abstract portraiture, Lalor has expanded his profession to include, amongst other media, film, with one of his areas of interest being the presentation and subversion of meaning. He will take part in a Q&A with artist Garrett Phelan after the
screening of Incident urbain on November 30th.
 Esteemed documentarian Nicolas Philibert’s style of filmmaking is unobtrusive, consisting of long takes which observe events unfold, drawing the audience in. This was seen to great effect in
his best-known film, Être et avoir (2002). Festival guest of honour in 2007, we are delighted to welcome him to Dublin again. He will take part in a Q&A after the screening of La Maison de la radio on November 29th.

Emmanuelle Bercot is an acclaimed actress, film director and screenwriter. As well as roles in Maïwenn’s riveting Polisse (2011) and the portmanteau Enfances (2008), Bercot has written and directed a number of highly successful features including Clément which screened in the Un Certain Regard strand at Cannes in 2001 and Elle s’en va, starring Catherine Deneuve, which she is here present.
