IFTA SCREEN DISCUSSION:

YOU ARE NOT MY MOTHER

4pm Thursday, Jan 20th

The Irish Film and Television Academy (IFTA) is delighted to present this special ONLINE discussion for YOU ARE NOT MY MOTHER with Writer/Director Kate Dolan, Actors Hazel Doupe and Carolyn Bracken, and Producer Deirdre Levins.

Kate Dolan’s feature Debut You Are Not My Mother is an eerie Irish folk horror wherein a teenage girl’s mother goes missing only to return with an increasingly uncanny change in personality. Something strange has happened to Angela (Carolyn Bracken). Of this her teenage daughter Char (Hazel Doupe) is certain. Ever since her single mother returned home following an inexplicable absence, Char has observed subtle changes in posture, personality, and appetite. The differences are welcome at first — prior to her disappearance Angela had been bedridden and quick to shirk parental responsibilities to her brother or mother. But as Angela’s behaviour grows increasingly wayward, Char’s scrutiny quickly turns to dread as a disturbing and horrific possibility emerges. Pervading this doppelgänger drama with an unsettling atmosphere and multiple finely tuned scares, Dolan deftly crescendos her contemporary fable to an incendiary climax that cements the filmmaker as an exciting new talent in delivering character-driven chills.
