Five reasons not to miss the Alina Bzhezhinska Quartet on Thurs 6 Feb:⠀
⠀
It’s not just for angels⠀
If you think the harp is for angels, then Alina Bzhezhinska & her quartet will set you right. Capable of everything from extraordinary lyricism to lapel-grabbing musical moments that would ruffle many an angel wing, Alina’s versatility & curiosity have marked her out as a pioneer in the field of Jazz Harp.⠀
⠀
Coltrane Connections⠀
Alina Bzhezhinska & her quartet take the ground-breaking work of the legendary jazz harpist Alice Coltrane (wife of sax legend John Coltrane) as a stepping-off point for their own sonic adventures. Much of the music they’ll perform on tour is from their critically acclaimed album Inspiration, which tells Alice & John Coltrane’s story through the quartet’s own interpretation of their music & her compositions.⠀
⠀
If it’s good enough for The Queen…⠀
Polish/Ukrainian harpist Alina Bzhezhinska stormed the UK music scene in 2017 when her quartet appeared at the Barbican during the EFG London Jazz Festival on a triple bill featuring Denys Baptiste & Pharoah Sanders, & was nominated for Best Live Experience of the Year at the 2018 Jazz FM Awards. She has performed at the European Parliament, at the Queen’s 80th-birthday celebrations at Balmoral Castle & at the King of Thailand’s birthday celebrations in Bangkok.⠀
⠀
Yogis will feel right at home⠀
According to the Financial Times, “The harp was rescued from jazz obscurity when Alice Coltrane forged Ashram meditational strums & fiery modal blues into a radically new aesthetic.” Coltrane was a leading light in the yoga world & founded her own Ashram in California, where sharing sacred sound with her followers became the focus of her music. Bzhezhinska’s music pays homage to Coltrane’s sense of spiritual curiosity, & if you love all things yogic, you will very likely love this performance too!⠀
⠀
It’s a stellar quartet⠀
For her Inspiration project, Bzhezhinska chose to work with musicians who share her fascination with Alice & John Coltrane & who opened a new world of possibilities to showcase the harp in a unique way. Tony Kofi, Larry Bartley & Joel Prime are all musicians of great acclaim!

Phantoscope, #TriskelCinema’s quarterly experimental film programme, presents an evening entirely dedicated to legendary maverick documentary maker Peter Whitehead on Thursday 23 January. ⠀
⠀
One of the most provocative and distinctive voices in British cinema, Whitehead is best remembered as a unique chronicler of ‘60s Swinging London and, in his monumental The Fall (1969), New York. ⠀
⠀
He was a filmmaker whose work, in the words of Richard Roud, attempted “to come to grips with today, both in terms of its content as well as of its form”. He captured the arrival of Ginsberg and the counterculture in England in Wholly Communion (1965), made the first documentary on the Rolling Stones, and was responsible for what many still consider the definitive film on Swinging London, Tonite Let’s All Make Love in London (1967). ⠀
⠀
These screenings are Phantoscope’s tribute to Whitehead who passed away last June. We are delighted that Alissa Clarke, co-curator of the Peter Whitehead Archive at De Montfort University, will join us for a discussion of Whitehead’s work at the event.⠀
⠀
The Fall at 6.30pm⠀
Tonite Let's All Make Love in London at 9.30pm⠀
⠀
Standard Ticket Prices Apply for each screening.⠀
Double Bill Ticket (both screenings) available to purchase only at Box Office: €15/€13

Our beloved Saoirse Ronan may have missed out on the #goldenglobes but we will always have a place for her here at #TriskelCinema 😀 and most definitely from Fri 17 - Tues 21 Jan when we're showing Little Women (PG).⠀
⠀
Writer-director Greta Gerwig (Lady Bird) has crafted a Little Women that draws on both the classic novel and the writings of Louisa May Alcott, and unfolds as the author’s alter ego, Jo March, reflects back and forth on her fictional life. In Gerwig’s take, the beloved story of the March sisters – four young women each determined to live life on her own terms – is both timeless and timely. Portraying Jo, Meg, Amy, and Beth March, the film stars Saoirse Ronan, Emma Watson, Florence Pugh, Eliza Scanlen, with Timothée Chalamet as their neighbour Laurie, Laura Dern as Marmee, and Meryl Streep as Aunt March.⠀

Our marketing manager @theonlygillianhennessy loved @TatianaMaslany in @OrphanBlacktv so she's very excited that we're screening Pink Wall (NC) at #TriskelCinema from Fri 10 - Tues 14 Jan!⠀
⠀
Pink Wall is a modern-day romance, following the six-year relationship of Jenna (Tatiana Maslany) and Leon (Jay Duplass). Intimately told through defining moments along their journey together, the film explores how both friendship and resentments grow as the pressures of adult life confront them.⠀

Honey Boy (15A) is showing at #TriskelCinema Fri 10 - Tues 14 Jan. ⠀
⠀
From a screenplay by Shia LaBeouf, based on his own experiences, award-winning filmmaker Alma Har’el brings to life a young actor’s stormy childhood and early adult years as he struggles to reconcile with his father through cinema and dreams. Fictionalising LaBeouf’s childhood’s ascent to stardom, and subsequent adult crash-landing into rehab and recovery, Har’el casts Noah Jupe and Lucas Hedges as Otis Lort, navigating different stages in a frenetic career. LaBeouf takes on the daring and therapeutic challenge of playing a version of his own father, an ex-rodeo clown and a felon. Artist and musician FKA twigs makes her feature-film debut, playing neighbour and kindred spirit to the younger Otis in their garden-court motel home. Har’el’s feature narrative debut is a one-of-a-kind collaboration between filmmaker and subject, exploring art as medicine and imagination as hope.⠀

Overburden by @freerangedfiona will open in #TriskelGallerySpace on Thursday 16 January at 6pm and will run until Sunday 29 March. This exhibition is the first of five shows curated by Miguel Amado.⠀
⠀
Please join us for the opening and stay tuned for details of an artist and a curator talk!⠀
⠀
Fiona Kelly is drawn to the rapid metamorphosis of territory, both urban and rural, in an age of environmental crisis. She examines questions surrounding the human ‘exploration’ of landscape, understood as both a relationship with nature and an extractivist approach to natural resources. Specifically, her research into wasteland and abandoned spaces addresses themes of ecology and society. ‘Overburden’ is an exhibition featuring recent and newly made works examining connections between the built environment, sense of place, displacement and topography.⠀
⠀
Fiona Kelly is an artist based in Cork. She studied at CIT Crawford College of Art & Design, Cork. Her work has been shown in museums, galleries and festivals, including Impressions Biennial, Galway; Mermaid Arts Centre, Bray, County Wicklow; Cork Printmakers; 126, Galway; The Glucksman, Cork; Galleria Ratamo, Jyväskylä, Finland; Spike Island, Bristol, England.⠀
⠀
This exhibition is co-produced with @CorkPrintmakers. Fiona Kelly is supported by Cork County Council.⠀
