Irish Film London to mark St. Brigid’s Day with female-led programme

Irish at London Film Festival Lenny Abrahamson People's Choice award winning Room
Brie Larson stars in Lenny Abrahamson’s People’s Choice Award winning ‘Room’.

A selection of female-led Irish films, can be streamed in association with Irish Film London, as part of the Embassy of Ireland in Great Britain’s Lá Fhéile Bríde / St Brigid’s Day 2021 celebrations.

The films represent a window into some of the issues facing contemporary women in Ireland and beyond and are shown as an act of cinematic solidarity with women everywhere.

Wildfire is the story of two sisters who come together over revelations about their recently deceased mother, and features incredible performances from Nika McGuigan and Nora Jane Noone.

 

Dirty God explores the devastating impact of a violent misogyny on a young mother’s life, and the superficiality of society’s response to a physical disability.

Lenny Abrahamson’s Room deals with the effects of domestic abuse in an extreme setting while focusing on the raison d’être of a woman held prisoner.

You can stream the films by clicking here.

The films will be available until Wednesday 3rd February 2021
