• That They May Face The Rising Sun
  Tuesday, March 11 - 7.30pm
  VOSTF, 111 mins.
  Joe (Barry Ward) and Kate (Anna Bederke) have returned to the corner of Leitrim where Joe grew up. After years in London, they are strangers among the villagers, most of whom have never left Ireland, or even the region. Their life is peaceful, their door always open - and the teapot full - for walkers. Seasons pass, daily life is punctuated by drama and joy, vigils and reunions, in a vibrant, inhabited countryside.
  
  
• Kneecap
  Tuesday, March 18 - 7:30pm
  VOSTF, 105 mn
  Belfast, late 2010s, a music teacher and two self-described "losers" form the hip-hop group Kneecap. Rapping in their native Irish, the rebellious trio soon become the unlikely figureheads of a movement to defend their cultural heritage, and the mouthpieces of a youth in turmoil.

Far from clichés or visions of the past, these films and this festival organized by the Centre Culturel enable us to discover modern, contemporary Ireland, with its beauty, its problems, its hopes and its people. It's a chance to immerse yourself in this rich and unique culture, but also to discover new cinematic horizons.
