🎬DIVE 🌊 High above the Atlantic, Jess stands at a precipice between memory and momentum - where past and future crash like the waves below.
Come see the film for yourself as part of our 2026 Irish Women’s Short Film Festival @themelbournecelticclub on May 3rd. 🎟️
Directed by Amy-Joyce Hastings @amyjoyhas and starring Australian Actress of Irish descent Alison McGirr @ali_mcgirr this film is an adaptation of an award-winning short story that traces the quiet, defiant moment in which one woman dares to let go of the past and dive into the unknown.
I wrote some reflections on art, empathy and politics after returning from the Chicago Irish Film Festival last week.
Delighted to see them published yesterday as my first op-ed in the Irish Examiner.
