YOU'RE ONLY WHAT I SEE SOMETIMES

fiction, 16mm, 9mins, 2008 written and directed by Donal Foreman starring Hannah McDonnell and Elijah Egan produced by Ruairi McKenna director of photography Piers McGrail A girl travels home the morning after a one night stand, reflecting on her experience. A sensual and subjective film about the traces an intimate encounter leaves in our memory. "The most ambitious short was written and directed by Donal Foreman. You're Only What I See Sometimes is a film about a one-night stand very much inspired by the fleeting impression ism of love and memory in the work of Hong Kong auteur Wong Kar-Wai. This was ambitious, confident stuff, told with visual aplomb. Foreman's film contained the cinematic moment of the night: a burst of spontaneous bedroom dancing from Hannah McDonnell that reminded me of Godard's freewheeling cinema. Anna Karina couldn't have done better herself. " ---Paul Lynch, "Dún Laoghaire students show what they are made of", The Sunday Tribune, June 15 2008.
