Audience Award – Best Feature – In a House That Ceased to Be (directed by Ciarín Scott)

WORLD PREMIERE *Sold out*

Following the screening, Christina Noble, her brother Sean and director Ciarín Scott will be interviewed by journalist Philip Boucher-Hayes.

Ciarín Scott’s intimate, emotional portrait of the remarkable Christina Noble is startling in its frankness.

It forgoes a conventional retelling of her journey from poverty in the slums of Dublin to becoming a prominent campaigner for the rights of children throughout the world in favour of presenting the real, complex woman behind the headlines.

It reveals a compassionate and dedicated crusader motivated to some degree by the contempt she carries for the way she and her siblings were treated when they were young. 

This film is screening as part of the IFI Stranger Than Fiction Documentary Film Festival (September 25th – 28th 2014).
