    Ag Lorg Hy-Brasil ruminates on an ancient, mythical island off the Connemara coast and explores how it inspired Ireland’s national pavilion at the Venice Architecture Biennale 2023. The exhibition, In Search of Hy-Brasil, was curated by a team of five architects, Peter Carroll, Peter Cody, Elizabeth Hatz, Mary Laheen and Joseph Mackey.

    uniE613 Scary Tales of New York
    Scary Tales of New York is a six part true-crime docu-drama which tells iconic stories from the age of Noir, (1930s–1950s), from the ‘Lonely Hearts Killers’ to ‘Murder Incorporated’, delivered in the cynical, pitiless hard-boiled voice of the great crime novelists of the era – Raymond Chandler, Dashiell Hammett, Jim Thompson, James M Cain and Patricia Highsmith… and with the visual flair and blackly comic drama of the Cohen Brothers. Uniquely restored colour footage sets the epic stage. Stabilised, frame rate corrected, and sharpened in a way that turns grainy super 8 and 16 mil into a crisply detailed 4K window on the real mean streets of New York almost a century ago. The dialogue and scenes are lifted and adapted straight from contemporary police and court statements, testimony, and newspaper accounts. Real stories, real drama relayed to us by our Storyteller, (Colm Meaney).
