Gary Lennon and Ollie Alin \n2023 – 80 mins – Ireland\, UK – Language: English \n  \nI Dream in Photos (Best Original Score at the Camille Awards) explores the life and work of Pulitzer Prize winning photojournalist Cathal McNaughton\, who quit “the best job in the world” at the peak of his career aged just 40. Cathal is in deep reflection\, following his courageous work in the field of some of the world’s most harrowing trouble spots. His obsession with his art\, drove him away from his family and son. Now\, as he rebuilds personal relationships\, he is challenged by the demons of his past. \n\nMcNaughton is an amiable and thoughtful subject\, and his testimony even as he recounts experiences in conflict zones is clear-headed and stoical. The film\, appropriately\, is beautifully shot. Pretty vistas of hills and fields create a contemplative space in tandem with McNaughton’s own introspection. \n–The Irish Times \n  \nI Dream In Photos delivers not only a well observed documentary and wonderful homage to Cathal’s impressive career – but also a quiet insight into the conflicted human condition. \n–Film Ireland \n  \n\n\nShort film screening: Roll Down the Window (2024) \n10 mins\, Person\, Short\, Dir: Lipa Hussain. \nFilmmaker Lipa Hussain interrogates a neurological condition she has experienced since childhood and the parallels it represents with her own religious and racial struggles.

The film explores the idea of utilising AIW to confront an enemy from Lipa’s past.  \n\n\nWe have created a ticket system which allows attendees to pay according to their means and financial situation.

Kevin Cameron – re-edit with new material \n2024 – 1hr 34 mins – UK – Language: English \n  \nAlasdair Gray is one of the giants of Scottish Arts. He is the author of Lanark (hailed as the most influential Scottish novel of the second half of the 20th century)\, painter of one of Scotland’s biggest pieces of public art of the 21st century (the beautiful hand-painted ceiling of Oran Mor in Glasgow) and author of Poor Things\, now adapted into a film starring Emma Stone.
