As part of our Blooms Week Celebrations 2024, is delighted to screen ‘The Ulysses Project”. A modern, non-traditional re-telling of Ulysses, told rapidly by a succession of over 75 actors who recreate the characters encountered by Leopold Bloom on June 16th, 1904. Shot entirely during the first pandemic lockdown, the resulting compendium of intimate, minutely nuanced performances with a cast including John Turturro, Aidan Gillen, Olwen Fouéré, Patrick Bergin, Shane MacGowan, Paula Meehan and Barry Ward.
" a compendium of intimate, minutely nuanced performances is surprisingly, deeply cinematic and as provocative as the book" Irish Film Institute, Dublin.
This film screening is being presented in partnership with The Bloomsday Film Festival Dublin: The ICC would like to thank Tommy Creagh, Artistic Director of “The Bloomsday Film Festival” for arranging this special screening.
