Pat Murphy/John Davies, Maeve (1982)
Pat Murphy’s first and most experimental feature film was informed by feminist debates on the objectification of women and by the unresolved questions of the relationship between feminism and nationalism, and between history and myth. Set during the Troubles, the titular Maeve, played by Mary Jackson, returns to Belfast after a long absence in London. She stays in her family home where her sister Roisín (Bríd Brennan) still lives with their father, Martin (Mark Mulholland); she also meets up again with her old boyfriend Liam (John Keegan).
Much of the film is structured around conversations between Maeve and these characters, who in turn represent varying and opposing political viewpoints. These are interspersed with flashbacks to Maeve’s time in London. Visually the viewer is forced to work at following the passage of time (the clue is in Maeve’s hair style) and the film is careful to avoid the conventions of mainstream filmmaking.

Lenny Abrahamson, Adam&Paul (2004)
Friends since they were small boys, Adam and Paul have withered into two, hapless, desperate junkies, tied together by habit and necessity. A stylised, downbeat physical comedy, the film follows the boys over the course of a single day, which, like every other is'entirely devoted to the business of scrounging and robbing money for drugs. The difference, today, is that Adam and Paul - already near rock bottom - have finally run out of luck, credit and friends.

Sean Breathnach, Foscadh (2021)
Set in the wild mountains of Connemara, Foscadh tells the story of friendless and guileless recluse John Cunliffe who is suddenly propelled into manhood at the ripe old age of 28. When his over- cosseting parents pass away, John inherits mountain land that is in the way of a lucrative wind-farm development, and he is forced to navigate the choppy waters of romance, trust and vengeance for the first time. The ensuing drama is a taut and absorbing late coming-of-age tale from the North western tip of Europe.

It can be a great opportunity to test your knowledge of literature, but above all it will help you soak up the atmosphere of Sopot by the Book!

What’s it like to be a Giant? – workshop for adults | hosted by: Joanna Trzaska (psychologist, psychotherapist)
What Do We Think of Adults? – workshop for children prowadzenie | hosted by: Marta Jankowska (Kreatywna Pedagogika)
The workshop for adults will focus on the different perspectives of experi- encing the world from the point of view of an adult and a child, a giant and a Lilliputian, and on how we bring those perspectives together as a family. How do we deal with differences, setting boundaries and creating rules? Does otherness make us curious or fearful? Are there any forbidden emo- tions in our family? Marta Jankowska, in turn, will explore what children like and don’t like about adults.

Mysterious Snakes leading: Grażyna Rigall
The most recognised and popular saint in Ireland is Saint Patrick. He is most famous for chasing snakes out of this country. According to scientists, this is completely impossible, as there were and could have been no snakes in this part of the world during the lifetime of Bishop Patrick. Nor do they exist today. Since legends stimulate our imagination, we are going to think of what such snakes might have looked like. What colours and shapes did they have, and maybe some unique features worth immortalising in our graphic and artistic ideas.

Portrait with a Pimple leading: Grażyna Rigall
Workshop inspired by The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde
The Picture of Dorian Gray is not a novel for young audiences. Therefore, first we are going to learn what the story is about and discuss whether it’s okay to do bad things if you’re sure you won’t be punished for it. Or maybe you should always be good without expecting anything in return?
In the main part of the workshop we are going to look at an illustration showing the picture of the main character of the book. Looking at the image of a beautiful young man in a chic outfit, we’re going to think about how bad deeds could really affect the appearance of his face. What defor- mations and other marks could correspond to the wickedness Dorian did? Could, for example, a bulging eye be a symbol of an evil view of others, and a pimple on the tongue be responsible for gossiping about someone? Could a character turn green with anger? Using artistic means of expression the workshop participants will have the opportunity to present their vision of the picture of Dorian Gray.
