September 4 – OMAGH 2004/PG-13.  Drama.  “I do not believe I have ever seen a movie that more truthfully and compellingly captures tragedy than Pete Travis' Omagh.”  imdb.com November 6 – THE BOYS (AND A GIRL) FROM COUNTY CLARE 2003/R.  “The All-Ireland traditional music competition attracts the best musicians from all over the country–and elsewhere. As the musicians make their way towards the competition, trouble rears its head.”  amazon.com This film will be followed by a live traditional music seisiún! February 5 – INTO THE WEST 1992/PG.  Family.  “Set mainly in the Ireland the tourist board didn't tell you about, this is the story of a "traveling" family who have given up their traditional life of roaming, and find themselves trying to make it in the projects of Dublin. This is not the story Disney would have told; redemptive and uplifting at the end, it's realistic to the point of ugliness on the way there. The lyricism and fairytale quality to the film are spellbinding.”  amazon.com March 5 – MAN OF ARAN 1934.  Documentary. “Robert Flaherty's Man of Aran remains a triumph of poetic imagery, and one of the greatest nonfiction films ever made.”  amazon.com  April 2 – THE SNAPPER 1993/R. Comedy. “One little secret is about to cause a big, big commotion in this hilariously funny hit comedy that has everyone talking!”  amazon.com
