Aisling WALSH is one of Ireland’s leading filmmakers and is recognised internationally for her films Song for a Raggy Boy (2003), Maudie (2016), and Elizabeth is Missing (2019). Her films have an instinctively feminist perspective making her the ideal choice to bring Lucia Joyce’s story to life. She also has considerable experience bringing the inner life of artists and writers to the screen: Maudie, which premiered at Telluride, told the story of Canadian folk artist Maud Lewis while A Poet in New York detailed the final years of Welsh poet Dylan Thomas. Aisling has been awarded a BAFTA, an IFTA and a Canadian Screen Award for her direction of Maudie.
