In partnership with Glasgow St Patrick's Festival & Grace's Irish Centre:
Conradh na Gaeilge Glaschú are delighted to be hosting a screening of the acclaimed 2007 bilingual film:
KINGS
on Wednesday 19th March from 7 - 9pm,
in Grace's Irish Centre, 18 Candleriggs (next door to Grace's Irish Bar)

'Kings' tells the story of a group of young men who leave the Conamara Gaeltacht in the mid-1970s, bound for London and filled with ambition for a better life. After thirty years, they meet again at the funeral of their youngest friend, Jackie. The film intersperses flashbacks of a lost youth in Ireland with the harsh realities of modern life where for some the thirty years has been hard, working in building sites across Britain.

Written & directed by Tom Collins and based on Jimmy Murphy's play The Kings of the Kilburn High Road.
The film is bilingual, having both Irish and English dialogue.

It was selected as Ireland's official entry for the 2008 Academy Awards in the best foreign-language film category.
