Ruth Barton Email & Phone Number | After I graduated from TCD with a degree in Modern Languages (Russian & German), I trained as a copywriter in the advertising industry. Following a move to London, I took a night class in Film at the British Film Institute/Birkbeck College and started working in the Institute of Contemporary Arts. When I returned to Dublin I took a MA in Film at UCD and followed that with a PhD on Irish cinema. I am the author of a number of publications on Irish cinema including Irish National Cinema (Routledge, 2004) and Acting Irish in Hollywood (Irish Academic Press, 2006). I co-edited (with Harvey O’Brien, UCD) Keeping it Real, Irish Film and Television (Wallflower Press, 2004) and was editor of Screening Irish-America (Irish Academic Press, 2009). I have written critical biographies of the Hollywood star, Hedy Lamarr: Hedy Lamarr, The Most Beautiful Woman in Film (University Press of Kentucky, 2010) and the Irish silent era director, Rex Ingram: Rex Ingram, Visionary Director of the Silent Screen (University Press of Kentucky, 2014). I am co-editor (with Simon Trezise, TCD) of the forthcoming Routledge publication: Music and Sound in Silent Cinema: From the Nickelodeon to The Artist, due December 2018. My most recent monograph on Irish cinema, Irish Cinema in the Twenty-First Century, for Manchester University Press, was published in 2019. I was Principal Investigator for a Creative Ireland project, ‘Ecologies of Cultural Production’. This project surveyed a representative sample of high-profile workers in two fields, Film/Screen production and Theatre/Performance, to establish what part the subsidised cultural sector played in their career development. I regularly review films for RTÉ’s flagship arts programme, Arena.
