Fréwaka | Catalyst Feature Screening
Presented by Catalyst International Film Festival
Aislinn Clarke | Horror | 2024 | 1h 43m
Filmmaker Aislinn Clarke’s (THE DEVIL’S DOORWAY) Irish-language sophomore feature firmly establishes her as a master of horror, as she deftly mines Irish history and folklore to craft a deeply unsettling and utterly terrifying story of generational trauma.
- Official Selection, 2024 AFI European Union Film Showcase, Locarno and London Film Festivals.
Haunted by personal tragedy, home care worker, Shoo, is sent to a remote village to care for an agoraphobic woman who fears the neighbours as much as she fears Na Sidhe–sinister entities who she believes abducted her decades before. As the two develop a strangely deep connection, Shoo is consumed by the old woman’s paranoia, rituals, and superstitions, eventually confronting the horrors from her own past.
