DOWN THE CORNER

Director: JOE COMERFORD

80 MINS • COLOUR


Joe Comerford set this film in Ballyfermot and involved local people through the Ballyfermot Community Arts project. One of the first cinematic depictions of workingclass urban Dublin life, it follows the lives of two boys, Buller and Pedro, their friends and families, over a forty-eight hour period. The film’s bleak humour and naturalistic performances give us a rare glimpse of 1970s life in Dublin. Joe Comerford will present his film and participate in a panel discussion after the screening, concerning issues arising during the course.
