Dialogue-only subtitled screening on Sun 28 Apr at 12.00pm
Capturing a year in the life of a rural, lakeside community in late 1970s Ireland, That They May Face The Rising Sun is a sensitive and beautifully realised adaptation of the last novel by John McGahern.
Joe (Barry Ward) and Kate (Anna Bederke) have returned from London to live and work in a small, close-knit community in rural Ireland, close to where Joe grew up. He’s a writer, she’s an artist who retains part ownership of a London gallery.
Now embedded in a remote lakeside setting, the drama of a year in their lives and those of their neighbours unfolds through the rituals of work, play and the passing seasons.
A delicate, meditative exploration of ritual, community bonds, and the question of how best to live.
The 6.00pm screening on Fri 26 April will be followed by a Q&A with producer Brendan J. Byrne, hosted by Hugh Odling-Smee (Film Hub NI). Please note: director Pat Collins is now unable to attend this screening.
