Dr Susan Liddy, chair of \u2018Women in Film and Television Ireland\u2019 and incoming president of Women in Film and Television International, is enthusiastic about WFT Ireland’s new partnership with TG4. \u201cI\u2019m delighted to welcome TG4 to \u2018Women in Film and Television Ireland\u2019! TG4 has long been committed to gender equality, in front of and behind the camera as well as in its workforce and leadership. We wholeheartedly support Irish language filmmaking and have been exceptionally enthralled by recent successes including \u2018An Cail\u00edn Ci\u00fain\u2019 and \u2018R\u00f3ise & Frank\u2019.

Director Ciara Nic Chormaic : \u00d3\u202fBh\u00e9al <\/strong>
\nCiara Nic Chormaic is a filmmaker based in Dublin. Her most recent feature documentary \u00d3 Bh\u00e9al looks at how hip-hop artists are drawing on the rich tradition of sean-n\u00f3s, poetry and the Irish language as a source of inspiration. The film is produced by Mind the Gap Films for the ilD\u00c1NA scheme, and co funded by The Arts Council, An Chomhairle Eala\u00edon. In 2022 Ciara directed Clouded Reveries\/Aisling Tr\u00ed N\u00e9allaibh, an intimate exploration of acclaimed writer Doireann N\u00ed Ghr\u00edofa\u2019s world and creative process. The film was funded by The Arts Council and TG4 through ilD\u00c1NA and was screened in cinemas throughout Ireland. In 2020 her debut feature documentary on the life and work of the iconic fashion photographer Perry Ogden, entitled Skin+Soul was the recipient of the Reel Art Award and premiered at the Dublin International Film Festival in 2020. Fashion as art, is a theme which she returns to again and again in her work and prior to making Skin+Soul she wrote, directed and produced a documentary series entitled Sn\u00e1ithe (Threads) for TG4 exploring identity, patronage and perception in the story of Irish fashion, which featured as part of an exhibition in the Fashion and Textiles Museum in London in Summer 2018. Prior to becoming a director she was an award-winning producer for over fifteen years.<\/p>\n

Director Ciara Hyland: Cro\u00edthe Radacacha <\/strong>
\nCiara Hyland is a highly experienced writer and filmmaker. She is passionate about the visual, cinematic telling of stories that impact emotionally and tell us something about the world we live in today. Her feature documentary Cro\u00edthe Radacacha\/ Radical Hearts focuses on several same sex relationships between radical women and celebrates the \u2018love that dares not speak its name\u2019 found at the heart of the Irish Revolution. In 2021 she made Forgotten: The Widows of the Irish Revolution on the wives and children of the leaders of the 1916 Rising and what happened them after their husbands and fathers were executed. Women hold up half the sky and yet they are often forgotten about when it comes to history. Ciara\u2019s interest in uncovering forgotten voices from the past also led to her writing and directing Cogadh ar Mhn\u00e1\/ a War on Women in 2020 . It broached a taboo topic for the first time \u2013 the issue of sexual abuse during the Irish Revolution. Using the witness testimony that women who experienced it left behind, it showed that this was perpetrated by all sides in the conflict. Other documentaries that she has directed for TG4 and RT\u00c9 cover topics as far ranging as hunger strikes, epidemic diseases and political history. She writes fiction whenever she can and in a previous life was a Script Supervisor on drama productions.<\/p>\n
