North Westmeath Cinema Club next film is Freagairt na Gairme / Answering the Call, screening on Sunday, 1st November at Castle Varagh Hotel.

Freagairt na Gairme / Answering the Call
A film by Red Pepper Productions, in association with Crex Films

7.30pm | Sunday, 1st November
€10.00 | All welcome

A contemplative documentary exploring the fragile survival of Ireland’s corncrake, one of the country’s most endangered birds.

Set against the windswept beauty of Ireland’s Atlantic coast, the film follows ecologists, farmers and volunteers working to restore habitats and bring back the elusive nocturnal call of the corncrake.

With atmospheric cinematography and beautifully restrained storytelling, Answering the Call is a quiet meditation on stewardship, patience and hope. The film also follows the corncrake’s remarkable migratory journey to central Africa, highlighting the interconnectedness of ecosystems across continents.

Join us for another evening of great cinema, conversation and community.

We are honoured to welcome In Plain Sight to Castle Varagh Hotel, Castlepollard, for two special performances supported by Backstage Theatre.

Friday 13th November | 8pm
Saturday 14th November | 2pm

Presented by Once Off Production & NB Theatre, In Plain Sight is a powerful and compassionate exploration of the legacy of Ireland’s Mother and Baby Homes — and the impact their construction and history had on women, children, communities and the buildings themselves.

Through story, song and architecture, performer and activist Noelle Brown and singer/architect Camille O’Sullivan explore the connections between history and place, focusing on the church-run and State-approved institutions at Sean Ross Abbey, Castlepollard and Bessborough.

The performance brings together original music, historical correspondence, government policy, architectural reflections and re-enactments of Noelle’s campaigning for justice, creating a moving exploration of a difficult and deeply significant part of Ireland’s history.

A thought-provoking performance about memory, place, justice and the power of storytelling to help heal deep wounds.

Two performances only — Friday 13th & Saturday 14th November.
