ONCE UPON A TIME IN A CINEMA

Director: DAVID GLEESON

93 mins, Ireland, 2026, Digital

OPENS MAY 1ST

A cinema in a small Irish town in the mid-‘80s is the setting for David Gleeson’s (Cowboys & Angels) charming crowd-pleaser which follows weary manager Earl Clancy (Colin Morgan) as he struggles to stay afloat during one chaotic Friday night screening of Breathless (the Richard Gere-starring remake of Godard’s original). As technical disasters, unruly patrons, and family tensions mount, Earl must confront the uncertain future of his beloved single-screen theatre.
