Following the death of his father, Frankie Burke (Peter Coonan), a kindly taxi driver living a quiet life in a Dublin suburb, is forced to confront the ghosts of his past when an unexpected stranger arrives at his door.

Ten years earlier, Frankie was living a wildly extravagant life, losing money as quickly as he could make it, oblivious to the concerns of family and friends, until matters came to a tragic head and his world came tumbling down.

Dermot Malone’s ultimately hopeful parable about greed, guilt, and redemption, is served well by the ever-versatile Peter Coonan who conjures the many faces of Frankie – from repugnant to repentant – with ease.

This screening will be followed by an in-person Q&A with cast and crew, including writer/director Dermot Malone and actor Rob Malone.

Screening as part of an NI-wide tour of King Frankiesupported by Collective - an initiative from Film Hub NI (BFI Film Audience Network) to connect people to great films. For information on other dates in the tour please see here.
