Project Detail

Haven

Synopsis

Haven is an afterlife love story between two jaded spirits. A young man is dragged along a bridge by two men and thrown over the side. His name is Tom and the dark afterlife he awakes in will never be the same. Tom meets a beautiful but haunted young woman. Together they attempt to overcome the past in a place built out of secrets.

Haven incorporates black box performance with innovative camera work and animation. Lino-cuts and prints by artist Trevor Haddrell create the architecture of the afterlife. Memories from life back in the world are shown through the eyes of the characters using a specially designed camera apparatus. The film boasts a gripping original soundtrack by the post-industrial band Mindless Faith.

The Weir cast and director The Weir

Director: Conor McPherson

Year: 2026

Set in a remote pub in rural Ireland, four local men - Jack, Brendan, Jim, and Finbar - gather for their nightly pints. Their routine is disrupted when Finbar introduces Valerie, a newcomer from Dublin. To impress her, the men trade eerie local folklore and ghost stories. However, the mood shifts profoundly when Valerie reveals the tragic, personal reason for her arrival. Far from a simple thriller, the play is a tender, intimate exploration of deep-seated loneliness, the comfort of shared storytelling, and the delicate human need for connection amidst the isolation of the countryside.
