10.30am – 4.30pm
Mechanics Institute Library, Bradford
From the beginnings of the Civil Rights campaign against the inequalities and discrimination suffered by Catholics in the North of Ireland in the 1960s through to the Good Friday Agreement of 1998 and the subsequent problems of ‘power sharing’, there have been several films exploring what the ‘struggles’ mean for both the North and South of Ireland.
We will be screening the film Wildfire (dir. Cathy Brady, Ireland-UK 2020) and extracts from a range of other Irish films. There are only 7 million people on the island of Ireland but there is a rich film culture with enthusiastic audiences for homegrown films that is perhaps under-appreciated on this side of the Irish Sea.
Tea and coffee will be provided and you are welcome to bring your own lunch.
Tickets are available online and on the door but due to limited places, please let us know if you are planning to buy your ticket on the day.
School’s Out for Summer
Sadly, this will be our last event of the season as we’re breaking up for the summer.
Don’t worry though, term will start again in September and we’ll be in touch before then with details of future events.
In the meantime, we’d like to wish you all a great summer.
Best Wishes
The Day School Team
