Film Screening @ 20:00: Verdigris (IE), drama, 95 mins, directed by Patricia Kelly, starring Geraldine McAlinden & Maya O’Shea (who will bot be attending in person). Winner of Best Independent Film Award at the Galway Film Fleadh 2023.
Synopsis: Trapped in a marriage with a volatile and controlling husband, middle-aged, middle-class retiree Marian takes on a secret part-time job as a census enumerator. However, the job is no picnic - on her tough inner-city route, she faces dismissive and abusive locals who flatly refuse to engage in the census. This includes brash and no-nonsense teenager Jewel, who Marian soon realises is living alone with no obvious means of supporting herself. Marian finds herself striking a deal with Jewel – she won’t report her to the authorities if Jewel helps her get the locals to fill out their census forms. As they walk the streets of Dublin, an unlikely friendship blooms and they learn from each other. With FR sub-titles.
Tickets: for the screening €10 (plus admin fee) from Luxembourg-ticket.lu (please purchase your own screening tickets).
The screening will be followed by a Q&A with the two actors, and then a private Crémant Reception (included for those attending the meal & screening - simply email [email protected] beforehand to get your name on the Guest List) with the two actors present.
