To earn an F-rating, a movie hashave a female director and/or a female writer. Triskel Arts Centre has voluntarily incorporated this rating, for more information visit this website: http://f-rated.org

CINEMA NOTESIt is Academy Award season and we are bringing back a few of our recent hits to give our patrons an opportunity to enjoy them again: Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri and Loving Vincent (which has become the biggest box office hit ever to screen at Triskel between previous and pre-sales). We also have three more Academy Award nominated films Call Me By Your Name, Loveless and The Shape of Water.

Each month throughout 2018 Triskel will host a mini-season of films each month: In February we have a season dedicated to HandMade Films, the unique production company from the eighties (and I must confess, this programme is a labour of love that I’ve wanted to do for years) and a selection of classics from Swedish maestro Ingmar Bergman, including the rarely seen The Touch starring Elliott Gould.

We also have +Short Film, a monthly event in which a notable short film plays as support to a main feature which is screening as part of the regular cinema programme.

Chris O’Neill - Head Of Cinema

INGMAR BERGMAN As part of the global celebrations of the centenary of Ingmar Bergman (1918-2007), Triskel Christchurch presents in partnership with the British Film Institute a selection of films from the unique director. Bergman transformed the way people thought about film as an expressive and profound art form rather than as mere entertainment; his great cinematic works of art are deeply personal films that no one else could have made. Season Ticket Offer: See all four Ingmar Bergman films for €30 full price / €25 with annual membership.

+SHORT FILMAnswer Print (5 minutes, directed by Mónica Savirón) is a film in continuous deterioration. It is made with decaying, turned magenta sound and silent 16mm films from different stocks and genres that had been discarded by others. This avant-garde short film, which received its world premiere at the New York Film Festival, will support Dark River.

HANDMADE FILMS PRESENTS When funding was pulled from Life of Brian at the last minute, the Monty Python team was left stranded. George Harrison of The Beatles said he simply wanted to see the movie and put up the money. And so HandMade Films was born, and the company went on to produce some of the most fondly remembered British films of the nineteen eighties.

Season Ticket Offer: See all five films in HandMade Films Presents for €30 full price / €25 with annual membership.
