Maynooth Film For All

@brid_connolly It's the chat that makes the evening!

@AllMaynooth Looking forward to watching it and the discussion afterwards!

How to Make Millions Before Grandma Dies is our next screening on Wednesday, 5 February. This comedy drama was Thailand's second-most popular film of the last year and was the country's entry for the Oscars.

Happy New Year! We are back after the festivities with our spring season, beginning with Levan Akin's wonderful Crossing tonight, Wednesday 8 January at 8pm in Iontas Theatre. See you then!

On Wednesday, 4 December at 8pm, Iontas Theatre, Maynooth Film For All will show Matteo Garrone's Io Capitano, a deeply compassionate film focused on Seydou and Moussa - teenage cousins from Senegal - as they make their way to Europe for a hoped-for musical career. See you there!

Tonight at 8pm in Iontas Theatre, Maynooth Film For All will be showing Black Dog (China, 2024), winner of the Un Certain Regard award at Cannes. Returning from prison, Lang joins a unit rounding up stray dogs in a town on the edge of the Gobi desert. Tickets €5/8 on the door.

The audience has spoken! And so we will be watching Fallen Leaves on Wednesday at 8pm in Iontas Theatre. It is the latest film from Finnish master Aki Kaurismäki, who came out of retirement to direct it. We showed Kaurismäki's Fading Lights on 1 May 2008, in our first season.

On Wednesday, 7 February, we will show Afire (Germany, 2023), written and directed by Christian Petzold, about three friends (Thomas Schubert, Paula Beer & Langston Uibel) holidaying on the Baltic coast where their relationships develop and the surrounding forest starts to burn.

Happy New Year! Past Lives is our film tomorrow night, Wed 10 Jan at 8pm in Iontas Theatre. Written & directed by Celine Song, it tells the story of the relationship of South Korean-born Nora and Hae Sung interrupted by emigration and perhaps resumed in New York after 24 years.

Dominik Moll's The Night of the 12th is Maynooth Film For All's final screening of 2023 on Wednesday at 8pm in Iontas Theatre. Seemingly a police procedural after the murder of a young woman in a village near Grenoble, it reflect on why the police proceed in the ways they do.
