25TH SAT – 15.40 | ORSON WELLES: THE KILLING
Stanley Kubrick’s invigorating heist film may have some stylistic nods to the great Orson Welles, and it’s always worth rewatching on the big screen.

26TH SUN – 15.00 | ORSON WELLES: THERE WILL BE BLOOD
Paul Thomas Anderson’s magnificent achievement with a sterling performance from Daniel Day-Lewis gets an outing on 35mm film. The actor’s magnetic creation of Daniel Plainview has mighty resonance with Welles’ own Charles Foster Kane.

Spike Lee’s lastest is based on the true story of a black police officer in 1970s Colorado Springs who successful infiltrated the Ku Klux Klan. Presented with Open Captions for the Hearing Impaired.
30TH THURS – 18.30 |LE CRIME DE MONSIEUR LANGE

Our monthly over 55s film club, with tickets just €4.25 including a regular tea or coffee. Come along on a ramshackle roadtrip with thirteen members of an Argentinean family travelling 1000 miles in a creaking campervan!
