Director Jim Sheridan (My Left Foot, In The Name Of The Father) will be in attendance for a post-screening Q&A about his career, collaborators and role as one of Ireland’s leading figures in popular cinema.
The Field (1990), based on John B. Keane’s legendary stage play, sees an epic dispute of land ownership pre-1916 played out in the village of Leenane, Co. Galway with career-best work from screen legends Richard Harris, John Hurt and Brenda Fricker. A massively influential text that is as vicious as it is gorgeous, this is a chance to (re)discover an unforgettable and monumental work of Irish Cinema.
Celebrating Ireland on Screen
Following our Irish Language Cinema season in Summer 2024, Kiln is proud to present another collection of classics of Irish Cinema in collaboration with the Irish Cultural Centre, who are celebrating 30 years of championing Irish Culture in London.
This season will see several distinct visions of Ireland in the 20th century screened over three evenings in our new-and-improved cinema alongside conversations with prominent figures in the Irish community discussing the legacy and effects of these portrayals of the land, its politics and its people, from beloved classics to rarely-screened treasures.
