Acts of Memory | A film by Mairéad McLean

Thursday, March 19th  | 4:30PM - 6:30PM | 107 Lawrence Hall

Join us for a public screening and discussion of the film: Acts of Memory by Mairéad McClean. McClean is a visual artist and experimental filmmaker whose career spans more than 30 years. 

Acts of Memory opens as the sound of a powder flash ignites, bringing to life a photograph taken in the reading room of a public archive in Dublin, Ireland, frozen in time since 1914. This moment, acknowledges a vanished past; neither the figures captured in the photo, the building nor its contents, remain. Read more about the film here and watch the trailer.
