Further Beyond
GFT
9 – 10 January, 2017
By way of two intertwining stories of Irish immigration and displacement, a poetic journey is made into the idea of the cinematic location and the transformative power of travel. Directors Joe Lawlor and Christine Molloy explore the extraordinary story of misfit and adventurer Ambrosio O’Higgins, expanding upon traditional biopic storytelling to speculate on ideas of place and embodiment. Using re-enactment and dual voiceovers to question their story, the filmmakers investigate within a specifically Irish context how travel and migration can transform identity.
Joe Lawlor and Christine Molloy’s intellectually stimulating movie – part essay, documentary and quirky drama – is in a class of its own.
★★★★★ – The Guardian
