Anne Maree Barry
Artist and Filmmaker in Dublin, Ireland
Anne Maree Barry makes site specific film works, text and photography. Her work addresses connections between memory and loss, geography and sociology. From subcultures to cities, from working with actors and non actors, her concern is to find a common thread that links the past and the present. Barry’s eclectic work is also influenced by popular culture and various music genres.
Her film work has been selected and screened at international film festivals and cultural institutions, such as the Irish Film Institute, The Dublin International Film Festival, Darklight Film Festival, Aesthetica Short Film Festival, Curtas Vila do Conde, Indie Cork, Les Rencontres Internationales, Tampere Art Museum, Dublin City Gallery’s The Hugh Lane and TULCA ’15.
In 2017, Anne Maree presented ‘Leisure with Dignity’ at The LAB which established a dialogue between locality, history and the independence of women at a specific time. Residences which assisted Barry in creating site specific film works are the Fire Station Artists Studios, HIAP Helsinki International Residency Programme and the Liaison of Independent Film Makers of Toronto. Upcoming screenings and projects include The Women’s Museum, Aarhus and VISUAL/Theatre, Carlow.
