| A Man who takes
pleasure in listening becomes one day the aural witness of a violent assault. Having until
then avoided all contact with his neighbours, the Man must now venture outside of his
apartment and face the society which surrounds him. Director's biofilmography :
A writer-director, Kester Dyer holds an MA in Film Studies
from University College Dublin in Ireland. He was sponsored by Irish TV Networks TG4 and
RTE to direct his first two short films. His first, PADRAIG AGUS NADIA (2002), is a
romantic comedy in the Irish language and won first prize at the Galway Film Festival 2002
for "Best First Short Film". His second film, CALL GIRL, a darker tale, was also
presented in numerous festivals and received several mentions. Kester also collaborated
with two other playwrights in the writing of Threeplay which was presented at the
Dublin Fringe Festival in 2003. He recently completed L'ÉCOUTEUR and is presently
completing the funding of his next short film titled CAUSE PERDUE, which is scheduled to
shoot in September 2007.
