Events

[FILM] Cinegael, the annual program of Irish cinema, expands its borders a bit this year into the realm of theater. The evening portion of the day-long event concerns the work of Samuel Beckett and will open at 7pm with a staged reading of Krapp’s Last Tape featuring Vincent O’Neill, Artistic Director of the Irish Classical Theatre Company. It will be followed by a panel discussion of the monologue, and end with a screening of two rarely seen films Beckett made for German television in 1982, Quadrat 1+2. The afternoon program starts at 1pm with the new documentary 1916: The Irish Rebellion, narrated by Liam Neeson. At 2:45 there will be a discussion of The Legacy of The Irish Rebellion, followed at 3:30 by Irish Destiny, a rediscovered film from 1926 that works footage of the burnings of Cork in 1920 and of the Customs House into a fictional narrative.
