Ronnie Drew- Johnny McGory (featured in film)
I really enjoyed the film Between The Canals, it arrived last year for the Jameson festival but seemed to have gone into hiding then. At long last, it’s getting a run at the IFI, with tickets available over here. the influence of films like Le Haine is clear, but Between The Canals has that great Dublin wit at its heart and is right up there with Intermission in my eyes in terms of presenting a Dublin that exists below the surface.
On March 19th, there will be a discussion on the film at the IFI, which is free to attend.
Director of Between the Canals Mark O’Connor and actor Peter Coonan will join Tony Tracy (NUIG) at the IFI on March 19th at 12.00 to discuss the trials of shooting a micro-budget feature in Dublin’s inner city over 12 days with a largely non-acting cast. This event is FREE but ticketed so please call IFI Box Office on 01 679 3477 to reserve your seat.
