This Wednesday, our film will be screening at @picturehousecork as part of a special Halloween event—not to be missed! 7pm Wednesday, 30th of October And since this exciting event is just around the corner, I’d like to share the film’s synopsis with you. «Once vibrant and full of life, the house now sits in quiet decay, its walls cracked and its windows clouded with dust. But within its aging frame, the memories of its former inhabitants still linger. The Life and Death of a Home tells the story of a house that remembers. As the years pass and nature reclaims it, the house reflects on the lives it sheltered—the laughter, the arguments, the quiet moments of solitude. With each creak of its floorboards and whisper of the wind through broken glass, the house becomes a silent storyteller, holding onto the essence of those who have come and gone. It’s a tale of time’s passage and the way places can keep the echoes of the past alive.» Production team: DIMITAR STANKOV (@edgyandere ) MYKYTA VORONOI (@quomadocunquize ) IOANA-CASIANA MIHALCEA (@casi_basi ) DANA KOTENKO (@danwery ) Narrated by: LUKE MULCAHY (@luke_mulcahy_actor ) Poster by: @wuqelis

SHE KNOWS Written and Directed by Naty The short film is now live on YouTube. She Knows is a psychological thriller about friendship and love, where small moments of doubt begin to unravel the trust between the people closest to each other. As Aymen starts noticing small details that feel off, a normal night slowly begins to shift. Watch the full film on YouTube now. Link in bio. Thank you to @ruaprofuctions And special thanks to @byfabianboros Cast @jeffrinjerome @gabrieljcasey @danwery @traynorr_

We are excited to introduce Dana Kotenko @danwery as the next artist joining us this Sunday for our 27th round of Out of Frame – Voices from Ukraine. Sun 14th Dec – 6pm - @theroundy Dana Kotenko is a Ukrainian actor and filmmaker based in Ireland. Originally from Kyiv, she has spent over three years in Ireland developing her work in film through a degree in Film and Screen Media at University College Cork, alongside acting training with Darren Kelleher at ActorsVision and further study with Jon Witty. While her practice spans filmmaking, production, and movement, Dana considers acting the core of her artistic identity. Her background in dance and movement informs her sensitivity to physical detail and emotional nuance, shaping the way she approaches both performance and visual storytelling. Her creative interests include explorations of female and queer identity, LGBTQ representation, and the emotional and psychological dimensions of character. Working across documentaries, music videos, and narrative short films, including projects showcased at the Fastnet Film Festival, she remains committed to developing her voice as both an actor and a filmmaker. She is open to collaborative, exploratory projects with visual and performing artists, with a particular focus on performance work that values creativity and shared vision. . . . . #filmincork #screencork #corkfilm #filmmaking #shortfilmcork #shortfilm #irishshortfilm #corkart

Round 27: Voices from Ukraine Sun 14th Dec @theroundy - 6pm – 10€ With the theme of our 27th film talk, it is important to us to shine a light on the ongoing unrightful and terrible war in Ukraine and the many artists that had to flee their country and whose voices need to be heard. We are very proud to welcome 4 amazing filmmakers and artists from Ukraine who now make their voices heard in Ireland, to talk about their background, their films and experiences of having worked in Ukraine and Ireland. You can look forward to a selection of outstanding short films and as per usual the unique opportunity for an in-depth conversation with the filmmakers.
