Military Historian Lar Joye (Curator of Irish Military History, National Museum of Ireland) will explore the long and colourful relationship between the Irish Army and film. His expertise stems from his current role, his former role as Head of the IFI Irish Film Archive and, most importantly, his work as an extra on Braveheart and Michael Collins. He will be joined by History Ireland editor, Tommy Graham, and Prof. Seán Duffy (TCD) to discuss the historical merits of Braveheart and its influence on Scottish nationalism.

In collaboration with Dublin City Council’s Festival of History.

Followed at 18.30 by a 20th anniversary screening of Braveheart.

Tickets €5 (includes tea/coffee)
