About A Want In Her

When her mother goes missing somewhere in Ireland, artist Myrid Carten returns from London to find her. Her search takes her into a feuding family, a contested house and a history that threatens to take everyone down, including herself.

Featuring intimate home video filmed over 30 years and using evocative, immersive filmmaking techniques, Irish artist Myrid Carten turns her camera on her troubled mother as she battles with alcoholism and depression. Described as ‘reminiscent, at times, of the work of Jonathan Glazer’, Carten has created a powerful creative documentary, establishing her as an immense talent to watch.
