A little bit of history of Triskel Christchurch! ⠀
⠀
This is the famous stained-glass Townsend Window.⠀
⠀
W. C. Townsend was a doctor attached to the South Infirmary Hospital. He was a former President of the County and City of Cork Medical and Surgical Society and Apothecary for the County Gaol. The window is in memory of his wife Frances and it dates from 1891.⠀
⠀
The inscription on the window comes from Proverbs 27-28 and relates to the virtues of being an industrious woman, and a good wife and mother: ‘She looketh well to the ways of her household and eateth not the bread of idleness; her children rise up and call her blessed, her husband also and he praises her.’⠀

Don't miss out on our upcoming film @MidnightTravelerFilm, an autobiographical documentary, considered to be "gripping...a powerful, personal piece of work" by the Guardian. Follow the filmmaker Hassan Fazili, his wife Fatima, and his children as they record their journey fleeing their home of Afghanistan. This film is highly personal in that they recorded the scenes themselves, all from their mobile phones. ⠀
⠀
Please join us at #TriskelCinema from Fri 21 to Tues 25 Feb. Screenings are from 9.10pm each day, with a matinee at 4.10pm Sun 23 Feb.⠀

@AHiddenLifeFilm begins in five days, and this truly is a film you can't miss.⠀
⠀
Terrence Malick’s film draws on actual letters exchanged between Franz and Fani while Jägerstätter was in prison. The collection was edited by Erna Putz and published in English by Orbis Books. Some lines have been added to the letters, and sometimes the letters are paraphrased.⠀
⠀
The story was little known outside of St. Radegund, and might never have been discovered, were it not for the research of Gordon Zahn, an American who visited the village in the 1970s.⠀
⠀
Producer Grant Hill has worked on several of Malick’s films before, including The Thin Red Line. Grant notes that the themes of A Hidden Life resonated with Malick: “It’s an extraordinary, enduring love story that investigates human reactions and motivations and just how far people will push for their beliefs and conscience. It asks hard questions—do you have the right to hurt people that you love in service of the greater good? Ultimately, it is a timeless story of devotion, love and forgiveness writ large. I think those aspects appealed very much to Terry,” Hill says. ⠀
⠀
A Hidden Life differs from Malick’s previous films in that it is his first biographical film based on real people whose descendants are still living. “The family had suffered enormously, and Terry wanted Franz’s daughters to be involved and give their stamp of approval. We set up a meeting with them through intermediaries to find out if there was a way for him to tell the story that did justice to the storyline and made them feel comfortable. Ultimately, they were prepared to trust Terry with Franz’s legacy, and we worked with them throughout production,” Hill explains.⠀
⠀
Screenings from Fri 21 Feb to Monday 24 Feb 6pm, with a matinee at 1pm Sun 23 Feb.⠀

After Hassan Fazili’s documentary "Peace" aired on Afghan national television, the Taliban assassinated the main subject in this film. As a result, this put a price on Hassan’s head. Hassan looked to his wife and his daughters, and he knew they had to flee their homeland. Over the course of their multi-year saga in search of safety, the family grasped onto the only means they had to assert control over their situation, which was using the camera on their phones to record what was happening around them.⠀
⠀
Hassan and his wife Fatima are both filmmakers. With this film, we see them educating their daughters in this field of filmmaking, as well as encouraging them to be artists. Follow this powerful, autobiographical journey of the Fazili family from when they first sought and were rejected from refugee protection, to their way along the notorious smuggling route of the Balkans.⠀
⠀
As they experienced increasingly dire circumstances as time went on, the family latched on to filmmaking as a way to not just survive but as a way to retain their humanity. This autobiographical documentary is considered by the Guardian to be "gripping...a powerful, personal piece of work" and is not to be missed. Starting from next week, pre-book your tickets from the usual - online or at the box office!⠀

New week, another new Jodorowsky film. Fando y Lis will be the third film screening for the Alejandro Jodorowsky Season at #TriskelCinema. Come join us at 6:30pm on Tuesday, 18 February to see this film.⠀
⠀
Fando and his paraplegic sweetheart Lis embark on a mystical journey through a series of surreal scenarios to find the enchanted city of Tar. On the way, they journey through urban desolation, scorched deserts and towering mountains, whilst encountering a series of terrifying and sometimes moving characters.⠀
⠀
Boasting some of his most disturbing images, Jodorowsky’s stunning feature-length debut, Fando y Lis, is an extraordinarily ambitious and intense adaptation of a controversial play by Fernando Arrabal. A bizarre tale of corrupted innocence and tortured love rendered in searing, high-contrast black and white, Fando y Lis incited a full-scale riot when it was first screened at the 1968 Acapulco film festival.⠀
⠀
