As they make their way to the Olympics of Cheer, the Irish Cheerleading Team (and their coaches) let themselves be known to the camera - their personal lives and their fight to get it right. This is a fascinating slice of life, which gives you a unique look into the

Prospect House: Fragile Fiction

In a whirlwind blurring fact and fiction, Prospect House grapples with the very concept of History and Storytelling. What can we know, what can we guess - and who gets to guess? Through the lens of a House on the brink of demolition, a team of re-enacters seek to save

Mrs. Robinson: The Blueprint of Leadership

For our times as we currently experience them, a documentary screeening at the Irish Film Festival London was nore relevant than ever - the story of a boundary-breaking woman who, as much as she can, has lived and is living her truest progressive values. A lawyer, a human rights activist,

(🇬🇧🇪🇸)Paddington en… ¿Perú?

ENGLISH VERSION Even before stepping foot into the theatre I was sceptical about this film.

Gladiator 2: A beautiful day for Bloodshed

I’m very glad I procrastinated on writing this review, as recent events (the US Election) have added a new colour to the film. A good film speaks to the times, a great film speaks to all times. Gladiator, and its sequel, are those kinds of films. Regardless of the

The Divided Island

A comprehensive and detailed account of the history of the Turkish/Greek Cypriot conflicts in Cyprus, “The Divided Island” is at times a very tough watch, but it is a vital one. Especially in the current political climate across the world, generations are often emotionally removed from the consequences of

Grand Theft Hamlet: We are now Killer Shakespeare.

In a strangely emotional and predictably hilarious 1.5hrs, ‘Grand Theft Hamlet’ stages Shakespeare. I say that clear-eyed, as I know there must be parts of the film that simply could not have been organic. However, the story they told of isolation, loneliness and a search for order and expression
