Join us for Free lunchtime screenings of films from the IFI Irish Film Archive. 

With Hallowe’en looming, we present two ghost stories produced by impresarios Micheál MacLiammóir and Hilton Edwards. 

PROGRAMME 1: RETURN TO GLENNASCAUL Introduced by Orson Welles, a long-time friend of the pair, while on a break from filming Othello, this is the story of an encounter with two ethereal women in the foothills of the Dublin mountains.

FILM INFO: 23 minutes, 1951, Black and White

PROGRAMME 2: FROM TIME TO TIME (AKA A STONE IN THE HEATHER) Framed by a fireside introduction from MacLiammóir, this eery tale, written by George Morrison (Mise Éire) sees Maureen Cusack haunted by a War of Independence informer.

FILM INFO: 20 minutes, 1954, Black and White
