I Dream In Photos GFF24
7 and 8 March, 2024
Scottish Premiere
Festival alumni Gary Lennon and Ollie Aslin (Casto Spies) explore the life and work of photographer Cathal McNaughton on a hiatus from photography, as he reflects on his impressive and emotionally taxing career.
Northern Irish photographer and winner of the Pulitzer Prize in 2018 Cathal McNaughton contemplates the traumatic effects of photo journalism on his life in Gary Lennon and Ollie Aslin’s second co-directed documentary. After being banned by the Indian government from re-entering the country, Cathal is left stranded in the rural Irish town of his birth, away from his friends, family and his camera equipment. In a state of creative limbo, he dreams of his own formidable photos and the lives he has touched through his work, in a stunning self-reflection that questions the ethics of documenting trauma.
The Screening on Thursday 7 March will be followed by a Q&A with Gary Lennon
