WHO KILLED BROWN OWL

It is a sunny afternoon in an enchanted corner of England. Strains of elegiac classical music fade up on the soundtrack, as a camera begins to gently move along a riverbank gradually revealing an elaborate tableau. Burnt sunbathers, beer-drinking kids, an abandoned baby, a rabbit in a boat…

Joe Lawlor: 2004 Revolution (corto, short); Civic life: Moore Street (corto, short); Who killed Brown Owl (corto, short)

It is a sunny afternoon in an enchanted corner of England. Strains of elegiac classical music fade up on the soundtrack, as a camera begins to gently move along a riverbank gradually revealing an elaborate tableau. Burnt sunbathers, beer-drinking kids, an abandoned baby, a rabbit in a boat, a bicycle accident – in Who Killed Brown Owl, the perfect English arcadia gives way to varying kinds of misfortune, disruption and violence. With more than a passing reference to the ‘narrative’ paintings by masters such as Bruegel, this spectacular single take 9-minute short is about a lazy Sunday afternoon that goes horribly wrong.

SYNOPSIS

Dad’s Car is the author’s own monodrama investigating an intimate and mournful relationship with his deceased father. An already complex father – son relationship becomes a love triangle when an inherited old-timer automobile is brought into the picture. The car is the father’s childhood dream come true, but for the son it is merely an in vain attempt to reestablish some contact with the deceased father. How is one such emotionally valuable legacy to be dealt with, the son asks only to find out that some questions perhaps offer no answers.
