Scribes - Colin Broderick

About this event

Scribes at the Rock has been one the main literary features of Féile and over the years the roll-call of guests have included Roddy Doyle, Gillian Slovo, Emma Healy, Natalya O’Flaherty, Irvine Walsh, Pat McCabe, Ronan Bennett, Marina Lewycka, Ross O’Carroll-Kelly, Kevin Barry, and Linton Kwesi Johnson to mention but a few! Writers read from their works and share the secrets of creativity with Danny Morrison.

Colin Broderick is a writer, playwright and filmmaker who grew up in Tyrone and has lived in the US for the past thirty years. That’s That revisits his childhood during the Troubles and Orangutan details twenty years of construction and madness in NYC! His first feature movie, Emerald City won numerous awards including the Manhattan Film Festival Audience Award. A Bend in the River features John Connors and Kathy Keira Clarke (Derry Girls). His new novel, Church End, will be published later this year.

Bhí Scríobhaithe ag the Rock ar cheann de na príomhghnéimeachtaí litríochta ag Féile le blianta. I measc na ndaoine a ghlac páirt iontu bhí Roddy Doyle, Gillian Slovo, Emma Healy, Natalya O’Flaherty, Irvine Walsh, Pat McCabe, Ronan Bennett, Marina Lewycka, Ross O’Carroll-Kelly, Kevin Barry, agus Linton Kwesi Johnson chomh maith le daoine eile nach iad. Beidh scríbhneoirí ag léamh óna saothar féin agus roinnfidh siad a rúin chruthaitheachta le Danny Morrison.

Is scríbhneoir, drámadóir agus déantóir scannán Colin Broderick a d’fhás aníos i gCo. Thír Eoghain ach atá ina chónaí sna SA le tríocha bliain anuas. Téann That’s That siar ar a óige i rith na dTrioblóidí agus tugann Orangutan mionchuntas ar fhiche bliain de thógáil agus d’amaidí i gCathair Nua-Eabhrac! Bhain an chéad scannán atá déanta aige, Emerald City neart duaiseanna, ina measc, an Manhattan Film Festival Audience Award. In A Bend in the River tá John Connors agus Kathy Keira Clarke (Derry Girls). Foilseofar a úrscéal nua, Church End, níos moille i mbliana.
