Ireland's cinematic history is one of resilience, poetry, and profound transformation. Journey Through Irish Cinema explores the themes of identity, land, and language that have shaped its national output. Featuring a mix of landmark dramas, biting comedies, and breathtaking documentaries, this season invites you to rediscover the films that made Ireland and the new voices making waves worldwide.
The story of Anne Devlin, who was caught up in the revolt of the Irish under Robert Emmett in 1803, told exclusively from the woman's point of view.
Following the screening Lance Pettitt will take part in a Q&A.
Lance Pettitt is an emeritus professor of film who has co-edited a book on Pat Murphy’s Maeve (2022) and an essay on Murphy in Women in the Irish Film Industry (2020).
Thanks to the Irish Film Institute Dublin for permission to screen these films.
