IFI Ireland on Sunday presents work by Andrew Legge
IFI Ireland on Sunday presents The Remarkable Productions of Andrew Legge; The Unusual Inventions of Henry Cavendish and The Chronoscope
1pm Sunday March 28th
Perhaps the most distinctive feature of Irish Writer/Director Andrew Legge’s work to date is his uncanny ability to recreate the texture and the aesthetic of silent and early sound film, often to great comedic effect. Fresh from a stint at the Cannes Film Festival’s Cinefondation Residence, Andrew Legge will take part in a post-screening Q&A.
This programme of his work will include Filmbase/RTÉ funded short film The Unusual Inventions of Henry Cavendish, a tale of a young inventor and his time machine which seamlessly combines scenes of Dublin shot in 1897 with new material shot on a clockwork 16mm Russian “Krasnogorsk” camera, and The Chronoscope, a story of a female inventor who is kidnapped by the Third Reich after she invents a camera with the power to see into the past.
IFI Ireland on Sunday is the IFI’s monthly programme of screenings which showcases new fiction and documentary works and provides a space for audiences to engage with the filmmakers.
Tickets are available from the IFI Box Office in person, by phone 01 679 3477, or online at www.ifi.ie
