Fatima Was Me City
‘Fatima Was Me City’ reveals searingly honest testimonies from a group of 6 men who grew up in Fatima Mansions, Rialto, Dublin during the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s. The marks of those decades are revealed, from the brutality of growing up with violence, drug addiction and the devastation caused to a community to the realities of being stigmatised and left to tether on the edge of a society that treated them as outcasts. Filmmaker Vinny Murphy, alongside local community facilitator Joanie Whyte, worked with the men’s group on documenting different stages in their lives as they reveal their experience of trauma and violence living with drugs, crime, incarceration, brutality, and death. As one of the men reminds us, “we buried a generation”.

Waiting - Screen 8
DIFF & The Digital Hub proudly present the fruit of this year's Screen 8 workshops: the short film drama, Waiting. Previous participants have made this year’s production. They have been honing their acting and filmmaking skills through workshops in the Digital Hub for the past 12 weeks with filmmaker Paul Farren. Their hard work has culminated in this short film, which tells the tale of friends and acquaintances meeting up at their local doctor’s surgery - a place of socialising as well as healing.
