Flicker / Short Drama / Ireland / 2021
Synopsis:
In the aftermath of a violent assault, twenty-something Danny struggles to accept the full extent of his injuries.
Moving through the house-parties, nightclubs and bars of today's Dublin, ‘Flicker’ explores the subtle pressures of contemporary Irish masculinity. It's a raw, visceral and intimate exploration of contemporary Irish youth culture, masculinity and trauma.
‘‘The jury were unanimous in our decision to award Flicker the Grand Prix for its excellence in filmmaking across the board. From the expert handling of the subject matter of masculinity and its fragility, to the naturalistic performances from its actors and the flair and composure of the direction.’’ - Grand Prix Award Jury / Cork International Film Festival
