Director's Statement
A thought-provoking short film on the impact of cranes on Dublin city. The short is set against the backdrop of the Dublin skyline as it changes each passing day as cranes deconstruct and construct new buildings. Karen Lee visual artist paints with palette knife these majestic features which now dominate the Dublin streetscape. The short marries the moving visuals of the director with the artists’ work and the poem written by Noreen Bingham, impacting on the Historical heritage of Dublin City.
