I am NOT Legend

Bram Stoker Festival presents the Irish Live Premiere of this radical reimagining of the cult horror film Night of the Living Dead. I am NOT legend, by Andrea Mastrovito, is a work of horror film-art for our times with a pulsing soundtrack produced by Irish composer Matthew Nolan. Presented for viewing at home at Bram Stoker Festival 2020, this screening and live score is the first opportunity for Irish audiences to see the film as it's meant to be seen - on a big screen, in the company of others!

Artist and filmmaker Andrea Mastrovito adds new flesh to one of the masterpieces of horror cinema, Night of the Living Dead, creating a screenplay composed entirely of quotes from famous films, books and other sources. I am NOT legend will send shivers down your spine as it investigates concepts of identity in our time and the existential threat of zombies on the doorstep.

Using his unique technique of drawing, painting, and physically ripping paper by hand, Mastrovito has augmented the film’s original frames to create a completely new story arc. His characters use the words and gestures of others to propel his narrative forward, which Mastrovito likens to how people communicate today via social media and memes – reusing and recycling quotes and images from other sources to comment on their own experiences.

Criminal Insanity: Bram Stoker and the Inmates of Millbank Prison

A fascinating journey into prisons, asylums, and other places of confinement haunted by Bram Stoker
Years before the publication of Dracula, Stoker was granted unrestricted entry to the infamous Millbank Prison, on the banks of the Thames in London. Inside these walls, he crossed paths with renowned criminals, fraudsters and killers. One particular encounter with an Irish prisoner, entangled in a web of violence spanning Ireland and Britain, left an indelible mark on Stoker's imagination.

These haunting real-life experiences may have served as the foundation for some of the novel’s most memorable characters: Renfield, the asylum patient, and Dr. John Seward, the keeper of the asylum.

Join Dr. Jason McElligott, Director of Marsh’s Library, for this captivating lecture; a deep-dive into the murky, real-life people and places which informed Stoker’s masterpiece.

Three Castles Burning Live - Bram and Beyond: The Irish Supernatural

Bram Stoker is undoubtedly the most celebrated Irish author of the supernatural, but the story of this literature in an Irish context does not begin or end with him. In this special live edition of the Three Castles Burning podcast, historian Donal Fallon is joined by author and publisher Brian J. Showers of Swan River Press and the actor Kathy Rose O'Brien. They’ll delve into the works of Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu (of course), Katharine Tynan and Dorothy MacArdle, among others, and explore their links to Stoker and the Dublin of his time at this special live recording of the Three Castles Burning podcast.

This event takes place at the Graduate Memorial Building in Trinity College, home to the College’s Historical and Philosophical Societies - both of which record Stoker as auditor during his time as a student. The Hist was recently recognised by the Guinness Book of Records as the oldest student society in the world. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to visit one of Dublin’s most storied venues.

This event is presented in partnership with the College Historical Society at Trinity College Dublin.
