Kilburn Festival: Bob Quinn Retrospective-The Emigrant Dance + Poitin

A rare chance to see the work of this unique Irish director who 40 years ago started Cinegael, making Irish language films showing the authentic life of the west of Ireland.

The Emigrant Dance (50mins)
Fascinating documentary about the Galtymore Dance Hall, Cricklewood during the 1950s and how it gave the newly-arrived migrants from the west or Ireland, a warm community they badly needed.

Poitin(65mins)
Quinn’s classic, funny and tragic film about brewing potheen in Conamara.
