Irish Film Institute -JUMP + Q&A FREE Tickets Draw

JUMP + Q&A FREE Tickets Draw

Set in Derry on New Year’s Eve, and drawing focus on a cast of predominantly young actors, this Romeo & Juliet-type tale, not unlike the Baz Luhrmann production in terms of energy and visual style, is smart, sprightly, and adeptly constructed. Effectively conveying the carnival feel of the night in question and making atmospheric use of its particular sense of momentum, Jump quickly establishes the relationship at its core between Greta (Nichola Burley) and Pearse (Martin McCann), who meet by chance on a bridge while the rest of the city is wrapped up in revelry.

We are delighted that this film will open the proceedings for the final weekend of Spotlight: New Irish Film at the IFI with a Gala Screening on April 26th (18.30) and a Q&A with Walsh and cast member Charlene McKenna, hosted by film critic and writer Roe McDermott. This Gala Screening will be followed by a wine reception. 

WIN one of three pairs of tickets to our Gala Screening of Jump on Friday, April 26th (18.30), followed by a Q&A with director Kieron J. Walsh and cast member Charlene McKenna, hosted by film critic and writer Roe McDermott. This Gala Screening will be followed by a wine reception.

Simply enter your name and email address and we’ll pick our lucky winners on Thursday, April 25th!
