MAYNOOTH
FILM FOR ALL
2013/2014

Maynooth Film for All
Film Club
Maynooth Film for All Film Club in collaboration with
access>Cinema screens a fantastic mix of high quality cinema from
around the world. This is your chance to view some great stories of
different lives in other places and the opportunity to meet some of
the filmmakers themselves.
We screen on or about the first Wednesday of the month from
October to May and membership is open to students and local
community alike. Brief introductions and informal post-screening
talks facilitated by Denis Condon Lecturer, NUIM and Q&A sessions
with invited guests provide opportunities for critical interaction
with film. Which was better the film or the book? Our new Cinema
Book Club @ Maynooth Community Library attempts to answer that
question once and for all. Between October and December we’re
showing a couple of Hollywood classics with FREE admission to the
Library on Main Street. See programme listing for dates and time.
We are committed to supporting Irish filmmakers at all stages of
development and have enjoyed showing critically acclaimed films
followed by lively discussions with award winning directors, actors
and producers. This year following a ‘call out’ to established and
first time Kildare based filmmakers offering them the opportunity
to show and celebrate their short films a selection will accompany
each feature. Make sure to complete your membership application
to receive regular updates on up-coming films and additional
screenings outside our core programme with the chance to propose
and vote on titles you would like to see included.
Maynooth Film For All: Film club is made possible through a
partnership between Kildare County Council Library & Arts Service
and The School of English Theatre & Media Studies NUI Maynooth.
