A festival celebrating the relationship of literature and cinema
With special thanks to our Leitrim-based festival sponsors Blakes Always Organic Coffee.
Adaptation returns for its tenth year with newly commissioned short films from among the region’s filmmakers, workshops in screenwriting and acting and a range of film screenings for all age groups and tastes including new work from Roddy Doyle, work from the archive by Anglo-Irish writer Elizabeth Bowen, an interview with pioneer of Irish-language cinema Bob Quinn and films from the next generation of Irish filmmakers.
Writer in Focus:
Elizabeth Bowen
English to the Irish, Irish to the English, as she described her complicated Anglo-Irish identity, Elizabeth Bowen (1899-1973) was one of the most prolific novelists of her generation. We discuss her adapted novels, including her debut The Last September (1929) and the book’s 1999 screen adaptation by director Deborah Warner and writer John Banville; and the novel, The Heat of the Day (1948), adapted for screen by Harold Pinter, often credited as among the best novels about Second World War London.
