Groundswell
Filmmaker Johnny Gogan first learns about hydraulic fracturing ("fracking") from his sister in Pennsylvania. In 2011, the Irish Government award an exploration licence to an Australian company, Tamboran Resources, to explore the border region where he lives for Shale Gas. Simultaneously, the same company are licenced in the Northern Irish (UK) part of the gas-field that straddles the border. Fracking is a new technology in its current form and very little is known about its effects. The film Gasland (Josh Fox, 2010) is a source of insight for the community when they go to see it in the region's mobile cinema. A unique groundswell movement emerges. There are tensions within the movement on tactics, but a "positive" campaigning approach prevails. Ireland has recently experienced a financial crash and there has been a major confrontation with Shell over another gas project in nearby Mayo with serious community fall-out.
Henry Glassie: Field Work
Henry Glassie: Field Work
Henry Glassie has made a life out of studying folk artists and the marvels they create. Over the past 50 years, the renowned US scholar has traveled to five continents, conducting fieldwork with an obsessive thoroughness. Each project Henry Glassie undertakes requires at least a decade. Brimming with insights into the artistic impulse - and how every culture manifests its own standard of beauty and meaning - this poetic portrait of Henry Glassie doubles as a travelogue, taking us places Henry Glassie has embedded himself. In Bahia, Brazil, we meet Evidal Rosas, charged with reconstructing sacred statues for which there remain no record, and Rosalvo Santana, who meticulously sculpts from clay a magisterial saint flanked by cherubs. Captured with mesmerizing intimacy by director Pat Collins and cinematographer Colm Hogan, the process of these artists is awe-inspiring. Henry Glassie: Field Work also allows us to witness the walling up of a massive kiln in Piedmont, North Carolina

I Blame Society
I Blame Society (18)
Playing a perhaps semi-fictionalized version of herself, director Gillian Horvat resolutely navigates an inspiring series of comical obstacles, skeptical intimates, and biased industry gatekeepers to get her first feature film off the ground. From a subjectively innocent initial concept that sings to fans of the 'My Favorite Murder' podcast-Gillian deftly executes the first in a series of impeccable transgressions with an unyielding allegiance to the Muse that resides within the heart of an unforgivable madness...a quality revered in cinema's greatest auteurs. Co-opting the rules of a historically exclusive game, I BLAME SOCIETY is both an amusing and alternately disturbing meta-narrative exploring the dark side of artistic vision-articulating the oft-celebrated egregious qualities deemed to be intrinsic to cinematic brilliance.
