A bit about myself

Barra Convery is an emerging director based on the West coast of Ireland whose approach and aesthetic is defined by a hybrid sensibility between cinematic and sonic languages.

In 2020, Barra graduated from Brighton Screen and Film School with First Class Honours after studying for 2 years in Galway Technical Institute and has spent the past 3 years in the field of non-narrative / experimental short films.

His poetry film adaptation of 'Finding Mothers' (2022) by Lorna Shaughnessy was awarded a pre-selection to Cork International Film Festival with programmer Don O'Mahony commenting on the piece as- “an ambitious, layered film in terms of visuals, sounds and ideas, touching on ideas of childhood, masculinity and growing up.”

​

In 2023, Barra one of ten Irish filmmakers selected for First Cut's music video competition and mentorship. He is currently in production of his debut narrative short, a proof-of-concept of his feature script project.
