“Sjene” su iznenađujuće uvjerljiv filmski prvijenac režisera Lorcana Finnegana. U teoriji, “Sjene” pripadaju tom dugovječnom okolišnom horror žanru koji tematizira strah da priroda stoji u suprotnosti ljudskoj vrsti i da su ljudska bića ultimativno neprijateljska vrsta, nedobrodošla u prirodni okoliš. Postoje raznovrsne varijacije u tom klasičnom scenariju strave i užasa, ali ipak se ta nit provlači kroz bilo koji klasični horror film, od “Isijavanja” preko “Ralja” do “Ptica”. Ponavlja se strah da svijet nije mjesto u kojem je čovječanstvo dobrodošlo i da će se divljina možda jednog dana pobuniti protiv žudnje ljudske vrste da je ukroti.
After completing a BA in graphic design in Dublin, Lorcan began working for Charlie Brooker’s production company Zeppotron as a motion designer, editor and later as a director. In 2004, he set up his own Dublin-based studio, Lovely Productions; since then, Lorcan has written and directed several award-winning short films, TV commercials and music videos. Lorcan’s latest short film for the Irish Film Board, FOXES, premiered at the South by Southwest in 2012, screened in competition at Tribeca and won Best Short Film at the Irish Film and Television Awards. Lorcan recently completed his debut feature film, WITHOUT NAME, funded by the Irish Film Board.
