March Volta

In the line up this month...



Mashed Potatoes, a Retrospective Aprés Les
Helena Ní Chonchuir

Mashed Potatoes, a Retrospective is video piece inspired by a poem written by Leslie Cullinan. It is a humourous examination of the origin of an everyday staple food that has come from the ground, potatoes too forget their roots.






A Fishy Tale
Helena Ní Chonchuir

This video was part of my Graduate Show at NCAD 2007. It was chosen for ‘Launch’, an awards programme for recent graduates, curated by Mark Garry, and Four Gallery, Dublin.


Gears
Paul Dodd

Three small time career criminals who are fresh off a robbery are making their getaway. As the three make their way North both passengers, in a prearranged plan, turn on the driver in an attempt to getaway safely, ditch him and take the money.


Sabotage
Paul Dodd

Re-imagining of the classic beastie boys track sabotage. Started out a simple Halloween costume idea but we decided to make a video. There is a slight behind the scenes extra at the end where the actual Garda pulled us over in full 80's cop gear!




Bad Clamp
Sean Hunt

On an empty train carriage, barreling its way through a city at night, two seats clamps awake, and decide they've had enough of each other...









Blackness
Paudie Baggott

A girl finds herself, under unknown circumstances, in a pitch black room. Her dying mobile phone the only source of light. No coverage. No idea where she is. With a feeling that she's not alone.





Amanda's Tears
Diarmaid Hanly

A rousing experiment in silly looping. Tediously created to compliment a 3 year old piece of music that goes nowhere.





Library Historian
Seamus Hanly, James McDonnell,
Heber Hanly

A history show spoof telling the untold story of a great Roman hero.






Henry & Sunny
Fergal Rock

In a time of unprecedented economic depression, mass unemployment and civil unrest, one group has borne the brunt of society’s scorn – the clowns. Henry & Sunny is the bittersweet tale of Henry, an unemployed clown, in love with soap opera actress, Sunny Carmichael. He writes her letters daily yet fear of rejection prevents him from disclosing his return address. Sunny reciprocates Henry’s feelings but is tragically unable to reach him.




The Scanner
Gerard Lough

A science fiction short film with the energy and pace of a music video. An alien uses a strange device to scan an area in search of a hidden craft that will take him home.




The Stolen Wings
Gerard Lough

Fantasy film packed with in camera special effects and striking visuals. A babysitter makes up an elaborate fairytale to keep a little girl amused but is she all she seems?
