just above the tear duct on each side

| IFFR 2025

In the 1950s, Ireland had more people interned in psychiatric hospitals than anywhere else in the world. just above the tear duct on each side uses archival material from the last century to bring to the surface this dark and buried history, rife with class struggle, carceral logics, violent medical intervention and the lingering influence of colonial forces.
