New Irish Film @ Vogue Theater SF

Spotlight on New Irish Film • Feb 19

JUST ADDED: a 10:30pm show tonight of Intermission (2003, director: John Crowley(“Brooklyn”), starring Colin Farrell, Cillian Murphy, Kelly MacDonald)

The Mostly British Film Festival’s Irish Spotlight returns to the San Francisco Vogue Theater with a full slate of new, Irish film.

This year’s program includes the award-winning MAMMAL, starring Rachel Griffiths and newcomer Barry Keoghan, about an unorthodox relationship between a grieving mother and a homeless Irish youth; the international festival hit HANDSOME DEVIL, an energetic and charming contemporary coming-of-age story set in a midlands boarding school;

Also screening will be TWICE SHY a bold, yet nuanced, “road movie” (featuring Irish favorite Pat Shortt in a supporting role) that takes an unflinching look at the challenges of young romance at the crossroads of adult life – including the decision whether to keep an unplanned pregnancy, a topic still risky to explore in a film that no-doubt courts a wide audience at home and abroad.

The three films in this years IRISH SPOTLIGHT each share a thoughtful ability to “start a conversation” – that they do this uniquely, with the skill and resonance of the best of today’s international cinema, make this years IRISH SPOTLIGHT one to save the evening for.

Part of the 9^th annual Mostly British Film Festival (Feb. 16-23, 2017), The IRISH SPOTLIGHT is co-presented by the SF Irish Film Festival and the Consulate General of Ireland, and takes place at Vogue Theatre, 3290 Sacramento St., SF.
