    Hi all, with the advent of the arty BYOB age, more and more pubs showing full films as well as movies in the park, I thought this would be a good place to put them all together!

    Tomorrow night (Thursday the 9th May) at 7.30 in siteation we'll be showing the film "Where the Sea Used to Be". After the film we'll be having a discussion with the film makers, Paul Farren and Stephen Walsh.

    ‘Where the sea used to be’ had fetched The Van Gogh Award for Best Debut Director at Amsterdam Film Festival 2012 and Best Feature Film at Fingal Film Festival, Dublin 2012.
    Synopsis:

    Patrick Mulhall works too much. His job takes him all over the world. But he’s coming home for Christmas. Unless his nerve fails him.

    Straight from the airport, his meets his brother James in town for that One Drink before catching the train back to his wife Nadia and his little son Nikolai.

    The brothers aren’t exactly at ease in each others’ company. The One Pint is consumed and another ordered. But no, Patrick has to catch his train; the last one on Christmas eve. Or so he claims.

    He’s long gone by the time James realises he’s left his laptop behind. James rushes to the station but there’s no sign of Patrick.

    Patrick is back in the pub, having missed his train. Apparently.

    So James and Patrick spend the day together, winding each other up and never talking about the things that need to be talked about. Patrick hasn’t been back to the old neighbourhood for a long time, and somehow or other the brothers’ day out begins to take them in that direction, out along the coast road, into the sea air, where memories wait in ambush and the past is waiting. Patiently.

    We hope this can become a regular event where we show a film and have a discussion on the themes after it with film makers/critics/academics etc...



    Thanks to the mods for letting me start this thread :)
