FESTIVAL GALA SCREENING: Bring Them Down

Michael (Christopher Abbott), the last son of a shepherding family, lives with his ailing father, Ray (Colm Meaney). Burdened by a terrible secret, Michael has isolated himself from the world. When a conflict with rival farmer Gary (Paul Ready) and his son Jack (Barry Keoghan) escalates, Michael is drawn into a devastating chain of events, forcing him to confront the horrors of his past, leaving both families permanently altered.

A Q&A with writer Jonathan Hourigan will follow the screening.

By kind permission of Kate Bush and in aid of War Child we will be screening her short animation ‘Little Shrew (Snowflake)’ before each film across our main festival programme.
