Dir. Giuseppe Tornatore Italy | 1988 | 155 mins

A famous film director remembers his childhood at the Cinema Paradiso where Alfredo, the projectionist, first brought about his love of films.

EXHIBITION
PAINTINGS: Antonio Julio LÓpez Castro
López Castro’s work explores issues around the representation and idealization of the landscape, our relationship to it and our immediate natural surroundings. The paintings observe how we are affected by the physical characteristics of the place where we live, while reflecting on the contradiction between our intrinsic connection to the natural world and simultaneous detachment from it. The Artist is interested in how our regular nterventions in the landscape and the use of our surroundings form patterns that define us, looking for a better understanding of concepts such as identity and place. Born in Madrid in 1972, Antonio moved to Ireland in 1995. He studied Fine Art at Sligo IT receiving an Honours Degree in 2003. Antonio currently lives and works in Co. Kerry. Thursday 2-Thursday 16 August Admission FREE

STELLA DAYS
Dir. Thaddeus O’Sullivan | Ireland | 2011 | 100 mins
In ‘Stella Days’ - an adaptation of the Michael Doorley book about the Stella Cinema in Borrisokane in the 1950’s Martin Sheen plays Fr. Daniel Barry a forward-thinking Catholic priest, stationed in ‘Borris’ a poor parish where even electricity is greeted with suspicion. Denied his request to retire to a big city to study, and tasked by his bishop to raise money for a new church, Fr. Barry makes plans to open a movie theatre he calls ‘The Stella’ to benefit the diocese and give his congregation a greater sense of the outside world. But his idea gets entangled in a power struggle that involves the deeply held church, parish and cultural views of the era. Thursday 27 September 8pm Admission =C7 (includes membership fee of =C1)

Wheelchair on My Face
‘I got my first pair of glasses when I was seven. A nurse came to the school and tested everyone’s eyes.

Until that day the world was a swirl of moving coloured blobs. I thought it was the same for everyone. How wrong I was.’ ‘Part memoir, part theatre and part stand-up comedy’ (Irish Independent), this delightful story of a myopic seven year old is brought to you by actor and comedian, Sonya Kelly ‘hilarious, poignant..it will please (The Savage Eye). viewers of all lens-prescriptions and none.’ Irish Theatre Magazine Early Bird Offer Available, see page 3 ‘delightfully whacky.. hilarious.. tight script and engaging performance..
