In partnership with Conradh na Gaeilge, Irish Film London is proud to present The Tribe of Gods to audiences at the London Irish Centre this July.
(see below for event description in English)
Beidh an scannán The Tribe of Gods le feiceáil an oíche seo, i gcomhar le Irish Film London, Conradh na Gaeilge i Londain, agus London Irish Centre i gCeamdain.
Cur síos ar an scannán:
Is é Patsy Dan Mag Ruaidhri Rí deireanach na hÉireann an Rí deireanach in Éirinn, atá ina chónaí ar Oileán Thoraí, an t-oileán is iargúlta a bhfuil daoine ina gcónaí air, creag bheag san Atlantach ar a bhfuil daonlach céad is caoga Gaeilgeoirí. Agus é ag fáil cóir leighis le haghaidh ailse, tugann sé aghaidh ar neamhaird Rialtas na hÉireann ar a phobal. Tar éis dóibh teacht ar ais ó bheith idir dhá cheann na meá agus iad ar tí aslonnaithe 30 bliain ó shin, tá ar an Rí agus a phobal tabhairt faoi fheachtas chun cearta rochtain shlán a aimsiú trasna Cainéal Thoraí, 9 míle fhealltacha den Aigéan Atlantach Thuaidh.
Beidh fáilte romhat ag an London Irish Centre i gCeamdain.
Tar éis an scannáin, beidh PopUp Gaeltacht ar siúl, i ngrúpaí beaga agus ag táblaí áirithe agus beidh fáilte roimh chách, cibé leibhéal Gaeilge atá agat.
Tá an t-imeacht seo saor in aisce, ach caithfear na ticéid a chur in áirithe roimh ré. Beidh muid ag cloí na rialacha maidir le Covid-19. Beidh ort masc a chaitheamh mura bhfuil tú ag ithe nó ag ól, nó má tá tú ag bogadh thart.
Tá muid ar bís faoin imeacht seo agus ag tnúth go han-mhór le sibh a fheiceáil!
First appearing at Galway Film Fleadh in 2020, Loïc Jourdain’s The Tribe of Gods focuses on the lives of the people of Tory Island - a Gaeltacht community off the coast of Donegal and a fiercely independent community with its own laws and practices. Central to this unique documentary is the story of Patsy Dan Mag Ruaidhri, the last king of Tory Island.
Patsy Dan Mag Ruaidhri is the last King of Ireland, who lives on Tory Island; Ireland's most remote inhabited island, a small rock in the Atlantic with a hundred and a fifty strong Irish speaking community. While undergoing treatment for cancer, Patsy is confronted with the neglect of his community by the Irish Government. Having made a come-back from the knife-edge of evacuation some 30 years ago, the King and his community are forced to undertake a new campaign to fight for their rights for safe access across the treacherous 9 sea miles of the North Atlantic Ocean that is the Tory Sound.
This FREE event will have limited capacity due to ongoing social distancing regulations, but pre-booked tickets are essential. Be sure to pick up your ticket today
After the film, there will be a PopUp Gaeltacht, in small groups, at set tables: everyone is welcome, whatever level of Irish you have.
Please note: We will be adhering to the venue’s rules associated with Covid-19. You will need to wear a mask if not eating or drinking, or if you are moving around.
We’re really excited about this event and look forward to seeing you!
