The Wanderings of Ulick Joyce 1968 Directed by Gillian Lacey
A distinctive animated short inspired by Irish folk tales, made with assistance from the BFI Production Board. Set “long ago when men lived in caves” this tells the tale of Ulick, a would-be king, banished from his realm for his violent and unholy deeds and forced to wander through Ireland and the furthest reaches of his own mind. Inspired by Irish folk tales, the story emerged from director and animator Gillian Lacey’s “train of thought” after reading Flann O’Brien’s "At Swim-Two Birds".
