What happens
Beyond the Fire, Northern Irish screenwriter and film director Maeve Murphy's second feature, was an award winning film about love in the wake of sexual assault starring Cara Seymour and Scot Williams. The film was first selected and screened at New British Cinema season at the ICA. Peter Bradshaw of The Guardian wrote "its unironic belief in the power of love is attractive". It was directed and written by Maeve Murphy. David Parkinson in Empire On Line Festivals and Seasons wrote, "Murphy confirms the good impression she made with Silent Grace... the performances of Williams and Seymour seep raw emotion."
