Fréwaka (Fréamhacha)+ Q&A
Haunted by a personal tragedy, home care worker Shoo must temporarily leave behind her pregnant partner as she is sent to a remote village to care for an agoraphobic woman. The fearful woman suspects her neighbours as much as the Na Sídhe – sinister entities who she believes abducted her decades before. As the two develop a strangely deep connection, Shoo is consumed by the old woman’s paranoia, rituals, and superstitions, eventually confronting the horrors from her own past.
Aislinn Clarke, the award-winning director of The Devil’s Doorway, looks again at the weight of legacy and inheritance, through the prism of a very home-grown terror.
Director Aislinn Clarke will be in attendance at this screening and participate in our Industry Days.
This screening event concludes with a Q&A hosted by Roisin Geraghty
