Carmel Winters’ second feature film, Float Like A Butterfly has been described as “A gloriously unruly collision of vivid romanticism and tough, unsentimental truths about the lives and casual discrimination faced by Irish travellers”.
The story revolves around a young Irish Traveller who has to contend with her recently released from prison father in 1960s Ireland in order to pursue her dreams of being a boxer and making her idol Muhammad Ali proud.
See the film in the company of Carmel Winters, with a chance to talk more about the issues involved in the Question and Answer session which takes place immediately afterwards.
Presented as part of the Cinemagic Festival, Talking Pictures is a series of film screenings and talks with filmmakers and film professionals celebrating Irish filmmaking talent and offering advice and top tips for young people with an interest in a career in film.
