Dialogue: Following the screening, Ron Clark from Riverside Theatre, one of the stars of Iowa City's contribution, will discuss the process of adapting Joyce's text to the stage.

A project coordinated by the Dublin UNESCO City of Literature celebrates the 75th anniversary of James Joyce's novel, Finnegan’s Wake, through a video collaboration among the seven Cities of Literature.

Short passages from Joyce's challenging work were selected and presented to the Cities of Literature with an assignment: create a video that helps to bring the passage to life. The result is six short films based on these passages, gathered together and available to view.

The Iowa City UNESCO City of Literature partnered with Riverside Theatre and filmmaker Ben Hill to create a short contribution, based on a passage "Mutt and Jute" found early in the book. Actors Ron Clark and Patrick du Laney acted out the scene, filmed by Hill at Riverside's Gilbert Street location.

The other participating cities were Edinburgh (Scotland), Melbourne (Australia), Reykjavik (Iceland), Norwich (England) and Krakow (Poland).
