The Quiet Man

05 Mar 2025

The Quiet Man (1952) sees John Wayne’s American brawler Sean Thornton return to his birthplace in Connemara to encounter romance, Republicanism and one of the most talented ensemble casts ever assembled on screen (Maureen O’Hara, Barry Fitzgerald, Arthur Shields). The Quiet Man is a perennial classic rarely seen in London cinemas.

This screening will be followed by Dreaming The Quiet Man (2009), which explores legendary Hollywood filmmaker John Ford’s relationship with his ancestral homeland, attempts to found and support an Irish Film Industry and its crystallisation in one of his most breathtaking and controversial films. Dreaming The Quiet Man is a masterful documentary about one of the cinema’s greatest artists and his Irishness, narrated by Gabriel Byrne and featuring Martin Scorsese along with the last recorded interview with Maureen O’Hara.

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.
