Dr. Keith Hopper introduces a series of films and excerpts inspired by the writings of Flann O’Brien, including Astray by Johnny Gogan (with Cillian Rogers, Ciarán McCauley and Kellie Hughes) John Duffy’s Brother by Mikel Murfi (with Mark O’Halloran), The Lives of Brian doc by Maurice Sweeney – narrated by Brendan Gleeson and with excellent comic recreations by the much-missed Tom Hickey - and excerpts from Kurt Palm’s 1997 German-language adaptation of At Swim Two Birds. Programme and talk runs for two hours.
