Prof. Michael Patrick Gillespie speaks on "The Myth of an Irish Cinema"

Wednesday, April 8th at 7pm
at Glucksman Ireland House


The-Myth-of-an-Irish-Cinema-Gillespie.jpgProf. Michael Patrick Gillespie of Marquette University presents a groundbreaking challenge to the traditional view of filmmaking, contesting the existence of an Irish national cinema. Gillespie argues in The Myth of an Irish Cinema (Syracuse University Press, 2008), that, given the complexity of contemporary Irish identity, filmmakers can no longer present Irishness as a monolithic entity.
