Description:

In celebration of Culture Night we present a very special FREE screening of Once Upon a Time in Cinema.

Running a small-town cinema in the mid-1980s has taken its toll on owner Earl Clancy, and he is now considering selling the site. For now, however, the show must go on. On a busy Friday night, Earl must deal with a series of unfolding disasters, from disgruntled customers to unwanted rodent visitors. On top of all that, he’s the projectionist for the night and has to ensure the film stays on screen. As the evening becomes ever more chaotic, Earl grapples with the legacy and future of the cinema he has devoted his life to.

Writer / director David Gleeson’s charming comedy-drama is a celebration of the film-going experience, beautifully recapturing the vibe of a classic, ramshackle and very Irish cinema.

Length 92 mins. Ireland. Cert: 15A
