North Circular

“A film made with real artistry.” ★★★★ The Guardian

A powerful portrait of Dublin and its incredible musical heritage, North Circular is a must for anyone who wants to fall in love with Ireland’s capital and the bands taking reshaping the traditional music scene. Following the route of the North Circular road, it captures – in stunning black and white cinematography – a city at a crossroads.

As well as moving folk music performances from some of Dublin’s best performers (including Lankum, Lisa O’Neill and John Francis Flynn) we hear the stories that hold communities together. Humane and honest, showing how place and culture are indivisible, North Circular is the perfect tribute to a gem of a city.
