ANNOUNCES IRISH VISITING ARTIST ANNE MAREE BARRY

Toronto, December 9, 2014—The Liaison of Independent Filmmakers of Toronto (LIFT) is pleased to announce that Irish filmmaker Anne Maree Barry has joined us in Toronto to work on her project No Mean City. Anne Maree Barry’s work addresses connections within contemporary space, which unites memory, narrative, geography, sociology and architecture. No Mean City is a documentary short film based on Eric Arthur’s Toronto, No Mean City and uses the same methodologies and practice as her earlier work Missing Green (2013). She has been in development of the project since her arrival on October 26 with principal photography taking place on December 11 and 12 on the grounds of the Guildwood Inn. She will edit the project in Toronto through the early part of 2015.

Barry’s visit to LIFT is supported by Screen Training Ireland.

Anne Maree Barry’s work has been selected and screened at international film festivals, museums and public institutions. Such as The Jameson Dublin International Film Festival, Curtas Vila do Conde Film Festival, Les Rencontres Internationales, Tampere Art Museum, Dublin City Gallery’s The Hugh Lane and more recently a screening of her film Missing Green at Pallas Projects, Dublin in association with Irish Architecture Foundation’s Open House programme, Learning from Buildings. Missing Green was shortlisted and nominated for a Radharc Award 2014. www.annemareebarry.com
