5) A Nightingale Falling makes its debut

Last night the new Irish film A Nightingale Falling had its homecoming premiere at the IMC Tullamore with cast and crew in attendance. The film makes its debut in irish cinemas next week.

A Nightingale Falling is one of the first War of Independence dramas since The Wind That Shakes The Barley and if you’re looking for your fix of black and tan action then you know where to look.

The film previously screened at Galway and our guest reviewer Conor Bent wasn’t crazy about it, but it was the only film at the festival with sufficient box office demand to warrant a second encore screening. It also plays the 5th Underground Cinema Film Festival next weekend in Dun Laoghaire, and it will also screen at the aforementioned inaugural Sky Road Film and Television Festival in Clifden tonight.
