Liberty Kids / Ireland / 2006 / 5’40 / 4:3
During a super 8 workshop, children filmed and recorded the images and audio of their choice; the filmmaker assembled their material into the finished film. The Liberties is a low-income area of Dublin’s inner city and St. Audoen’s is a public school with meager resources – but one energetic teacher hosted the workshop, which took place during her regular classroom hours.
