Moore Street is a single tracking shot filmed on Dublin's famous Moore
Street with members of the Dublin-based African production company, Arambe. In the
film, which is a continuation of Molloy and Lawlor's fascination with changing urban
terrains, we follow the thoughts of a young African woman in Ireland as she considers
her future, and her unfolding sense of identity as she walks along the city street at
night.
Moore Street documents an iconic street in Dublin at an interval in its official
re-development, where already the everyday hopes and dreams of new communities are
reshaping the city as home.
Moore Street was Part of Ireland's entry into the 26th Sào Paulo Bienal.
