Bring international, extravagant ,(preferably handmade), food and drinks— whatever you would like others to taste.
Stranger than Paradise commitment: Each individual will create an image, based the theme Dream, place it in a signed envelope and take it to the event. You will need to write your name and surname on the back of the image. It will be swapped with another participant at the party. Everyone then will leave with someone else’s Image Of A Dream. Please make a comment on the image you take home so I can post it on my new blog. Images will be scanned for The Shed archive.
Atlantis— Fernando De Juan Lopez
Every year, thousands of tourists arrive to Ibiza during the summer months in search of a twenty–four hour, drug fueled party. The locals say that, because of this invasion, the island will sink. This piece was made using footage found in a lost camcorder.
Fernando de Juan was born in Barcelona were he studied film in 1995. He has directed one short film “La voragine” and is currently working in experimental video and also as an editor and script writer. Fernando has been living and working in Dublin since 2004.
Tango In D Minor— Maurizio Usai
“Tango in D minor is a short film about people at the margins of society. People that suffer but are still able to dream. Dreams that are beautiful and fragile like bubbles.”
This is a story of a Dubliner called Lucky who falls in love with Asia, a beautiful, immigrant tango dancer, while working as a cleaner in a ballroom. Lucky is a heroine addict struggling to maintain himself and his demented mother against the backdrop of booming Dublin’s cultural quarter, riddled with drunks, disenfranchised youth, homeless men and broken dreams. Lucky’s destiny changes with the appearance of a magic box that makes dreams come true.
Maurizio Usai was born in Cagliari (Sardinia) in 1975. In 2003 he began a three–year Degree course in the National Film School of Ireland. During the course he wrote and directed various short dramas, commercials and documentaries. Maurizio is now working towards directing his first feature.
