The IFI Announce Special Screening of New Documentary 'A Woman’s Place' celebrating 100 Years of Irish Women in Public Office
15 Jun 2018 : Nathan Griffin
The Irish Film Institute has announced that it will be welcoming Minister Katherine Zappone TD and Frances Fitzgerald TD to attend a special screening of Declan McGrath’s documentary ‘A Woman’s Place’ on Monday 25th, followed by a panel discussion.

This observational documentary charts acclaimed artist Noel Murphy’s six-month journey to paint the 53 sitting female members of the Oireachtas in one single portrait.

The painting, unveiled on International Women’s Day 2018 in March, marked both the centenary of the 1918 election to Westminster of Countess Constance Markievicz, the first woman in the world to hold a cabinet position, and the record number of female TDs in the 32nd Dáil following the introduction of the gender quota in 2016.

Throughout the artistic journey, journalist Eamonn Mallie speaks to the deputies about their role in politics as they visit the artist’s studio. The film not only affords the viewer a behind-the-scenes glimpse of the artist’s creative process, but also allows them to experience the colour and emotions of the sitters being captured in paint and on camera.

This screening will be followed by a panel discussion moderated by Eamonn Mallie, and will feature artist Noel Murphy, director Declan McGrath, Minister Katherine Zappone TD, and Frances Fitzgerald TD.
