Housewife of the Year
Ciaran Cassidy | Documentary | 2024 | 1hr 21mins
Telling the story of Ireland’s treatment of women through the prism of a unique, surreal, live televised competition, that has to be seen to be believed, where a generation of Irish women competed in front of a live audience for the title of ‘Housewife of the Year’. The former contestants share their direct experiences of marriage bars, lack of contraception, magdalene laundries, financial vulnerability, boredom and shame and of course, of being contestants in the competition. It is a poignant, often hilarious,uplifting story of a resilient generation of women and how they changed a country.
*BOOBS: Irish artist Geraldine Carton leads this uprising against body shame. After years of therapy confronting her struggles with body image, Geraldine emerges with newfound clarity and courage, channeling her journey into an unapologetic celebration of self-acceptance.
Deeply moving yet refreshingly bold, Boobs celebrates self-acceptance and the transformative power of redefining beauty, taking audiences on a journey that will make them laugh, cry, and see themselves in an entirely new light.
