About this listen

 In this Film Ireland podcast, Gemma Creagh talks to José Miguel Jiménez, Director of 'Amanda', which is screening at Docs Ireland (23-29 June 2025). We also catch up with Festival Programmer Stuart Sloan about this years' line up. Amanda has painted in isolation for years, using art as both expression and refuge. Now, she must face the challenge of speaking out about a painful past she wishes to leave behind. Once institutionalised and labeled by others, Amanda reclaims her narrative through her unique canvases — works that evoke the chaos of her experience, paintings marked by scars that mirror her own. As she prepares for her first retrospective and her story reaches national newspapers, Amanda navigates the vulnerability of sharing both her art and truth. Will this confrontation lead to healing, or reopen old wounds? Through observational hangouts and immersive explorations of her luminous works, the film captures her journey to transform silence into radiance. Directed by José Miguel Jiménez Produced by Roisín Geraghty Funded by: The Arts Council of Ireland's Reel Art Fund Amanda screens on 27th June 2025 as part of Docs Ireland.
