Once Upon a Time in a Cinema

Wednesday September 7 at 4:00 and 7:00

Set in 1980s Ireland, the story follows Earl Clancy (Colin Morgan), the manager of a small-town cinema, as he navigates a chaotic Friday night filled with burst pipes, unruly customers, rodents, and aging equipment, all while contemplating the sale of his cinema to a shady politician

REVIEW

“It’s clear Once Upon a Time in a Cinema was made with a lot of passion and love. The location is a genuine cinema, The Royal Theatre, wonderfully adorned with film posters of the era such as Christine and Ghostbusters, it has an air of authenticity that a soundstage would struggle to match”

RTÉ

“A heart-warming nostalgic recreation of a time gone by, Once Upon A Time In A Cinema is a story to be dived into. Embrace the popcorn – and the moment – and sit back and enjoy.”
