Eva O’Connor and Hildegard Ryan’s short film Dance Me Clean is being screened today at 17:30 at The Arc Cinema in Cork as part of the Cork International Film Festival.
It is playing as part of “Irish Shorts 4: Out of Competition”, a selection of Irish shorts celebrating exciting new voices in fiction and documentary.
Dance Me Clean, written by and starring Eva O’Connor and directed by Hildegard Ryan, premiered at Fastnet Film Festival in April. It follows Nell, who returns home to her late mother’s house broke and pregnant, and strikes up an unlikely friendship with a local teenager.
Eva produced Dance Me Clean as part of The Actor as Creator Scheme with Fís Éireann/Screen Ireland and Bow Street Academy.
Eva and Hildegard are long-time collaborators who have co-written numerous projects for stage and screen, including the award-winning Chicken, which made its London debut at Jermyn Street Theatre in May.
