Film made in Kilkenny to be screened in the county
There will be a rare opportunity to see a short film made in Co Kilkenny this weekend - in Thomastown.
Filmmaker Eamon Little recorded the documentary piece in Callan and it was first shown in 2011, but in recent years has not had frequent screening.
Living Colour is about the extraordinary artists at KCAT in Callan. They include an abstract watercolour painter who takes three and a half minutes to climb into a van, a chatterbox stone carver with the shakes, a woman who colours her dreams, a precision ink-drawer who stares into fires, a diminutive sage who makes politically satirical animations and the motley collective of other artists with special needs with whom they share a studio.
It is a charming, moving and hilarious reflection on the deeply human need to make art, presented in association with TKAF and AKA festivals.

The full documentary will be screened in Thomastown Hall, this Saturday, at 8pm. It will be followed by a Q&A with Eamon Little, hosted by Catherine Marshall of IMMA.
Tickets are on sale for €10 (plus booking fee) at https://bit.ly/4fpDKwp - please note, if paying on the door cash only is accepted. Proceeds are in aid of a family in Gaza.
Living Colour is directed by Eamon Little, edited by Tadhg O’Sullivan and produced by Martha O’Neill and Adrian McCarthy.
