"Both Irish, and transplanted writers, Emma Donoghue and Colm Toibin have taken historical moments and let the empathy of their imaginations and the curiosity of their research create stories of two unique women. Each of these writers has a film currently in release and based on their novels: Donoghue'sRoom, and Toibin's Brooklyn. These two films show the writers' incredible empathy for the ravages of the heart and the amazing power of love over adversity.' remarks Co-Artistic director Susan Harloe.
