Paul Duane

A master of realism and subtle storytelling, Paul Duane was born in 1961, in Dublin, Ireland. A director active from the late 1980s, Duane dabbles primarily in the documentary genre, with his most notable works including "Barbaric Genius" and "Very Extremely Dangerous," films that have earned him critical acclaim but no major festival awards. Duane's authorial style is marked by his commitment to raw, unfiltered narratives and an empathetic lens that brings the underdog stories to the forefront. Beyond the lens, Duane is a dedicated craftsman who constantly pushes the boundaries of conventional storytelling, etching human resilience on celluloid with a profound touch of reality.
