Click HERE for 2008 film programming.
The Boston College Irish Studies program has always considered film to be an integral part of Ireland’s complex culture. In March and April of 2008 the Irish Film Series marks its seventh year with a number of highly acclaimed feature and documentary films. Once again Irish Studies is working with Reel Ireland, part of the Irish Film Institute in Dublin to showcase the best in contemporary Irish film.
The series has been developed with the support of the West Newton Cinema, an independently owned and operated art house cinema that has gained a reputation for screening innovative American and international films. Documentary films will be screened at Boston College and will be introduced by Irish Studies faculty who will lead discussions after the showings. Special guest poet and Director of Irish Studies at the National university of Ireland, Galway, Louis De Paor will introduce a film on the poet Sean Ó Ríordáin.
