Steeped in Irish history and lore, the films of Dónal Foreman are searching, shape-shifting explorations of place, cultural memory, and national identity. Working across narrative, documentary, and experimental practices, his three features to date—the vivid Dublin-set youth portrait OUT OF HERE, the profoundly personal essay on the Troubles THE IMAGE YOU MISSED, and the beautifully dreamy metafiction inspired by Ireland’s ancient pirate queen THE CRY OF GRANUAILE—have established him as one of contemporary Irish cinema’s most consistently intriguing voices.
