Irish Film London- UK premiere of Foscadh + Recorded Q&A

Irish Film London are excited to be bringing Seán Breathnach’s Foscadh to audiences as part of our St Patrick’s Film Festival 2022.

This Irish language drama features Dónall Ó Héalai - star of Arracht, IFFL 2021’s Best Film Award winner - in a role which offers audiences a very different performance from last year’s period thriller. The film was selected as Ireland’s entry for the Oscar International Feature Film category this year, and has picked up two IFTA nominations for lead actor (for Dónall Ó Héalai) and supporting actor (for Cillian O Gairbhí).

Set in contemporary Connemara, Foscadh telling the story of gormless recluse John Cunliffe who is suddenly propelled into manhood at the ripe old age of 26. When his over-cosseting parents pass away, John inherits mountain land that is in the way of a lucrative wind-farm development and he is forced to navigate the choppy waters of courtship, trust and vengeance for the first time.

Foscadh will be shown with a specially recorded Q&A from the film’s director, who is unfortunately unable to join us in London for the screening.
