(Tschick)

Maik is a daydreamer who goes unnoticed by his classroom crush; Andrej is an oddball kid from Russia with an eccentric taste for Hawaiian shirts. The two form an unlikely bond when Andrej shows up at Maik’s door with a “borrowed” blue Lada, and the prospect of an impromptu road trip beckons. Based on the bestselling German novel Why We Took the Car by Wolfgang Herrndorf, Tschick is a funny, endearing, coming-of-age film with fresh verve of its own.

13+RaRa

Since their parents split up, Sara and her younger sister live with their mother, whose new partner is a woman. Everyday life for the four of them is very similar to that of other families. The situation is actually totally fine with Sara. But not everyone sees it that way – her father in particular has his doubts. As Sara’s 13th birthday approaches, she feels rather overwhelmed: her first crush, her body is starting to change and to top it all off, conflicts over loyalty with her parents… Everything feels wrong. This empathetic film is based on a true story.

Irish Holocaust survivor Tomi Reichental celebrates his 80th birthday in a Dublin Mosque and embarks on an epic journey across a Europe in turmoil.

In Germany, Tomi concludes his long quest to bring the convicted SS war criminal Hilde Michnia to account for her secrets and lies.

In Poland and Slovakia, he confronts the ‘crisis of shame’ that prevents an honest reckoning with the scale of local ‘collusion’ with the Nazi extermination project.

In Bosnia, Tomi embraces Muslim survivors of a genocide, who still search for the bones of their loved ones.

Along the way he puts himself into the shoes of the “new Jews” and discovers a strong common bond with refugees fleeing the hell that is Syria.

A powerful, timely and vital documentary that follows Irish

journey across a Europe in turmoil…

11 year old Michi lives in a children’s home, fighting to win the respect of the other kids, till the day he finds his real dad, Tom - who happens to be a dwarf, even shorter than Michi is and the opposite of his idea of manliness and strength. When the kids find out, Michi’s life becomes hell and he flees. With nowhere to go, he moves in with Tom, who is new to this fatherhood thing, while Michi tries to hide his embarrassment and shame from his fellow school kids. This forces Tom, who had coped well till now, to confront his handicap head on. As time passes, they discover they have more in common than other sons and fathers, until their relationship is put to the test.

12ASecrets of Superhero Science: X-Men (2000) with Barry Fitzgerald Town Hall Theatre 12:30 Saturday 11th November 2017



Synopsis: Across the world, children are born with an extra twist to their chromosomes that allow them to exhibit superhuman abilities: fire a beam of force from their eyes, sprout wings that allow flight, or read people’s minds. These ‘children of the atom’ are often feared and despised by the world, forcing these mutants to resort to desperate actions. However, one group of mutants has banded together to show the world that it need not fear their kind. Apart, they are simply scientific curiosities, freaks and monsters - but together, united by their shared belief, they are more. They are the uncanny X-Men.

USA / 2000 /Action Adventure Sci-Fi / 104 minsDirector Bryan SingerCast Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellan

X-Men was a game changer. When it was released in 2000 superhero cinema was at an all time low. Both the Batman and Superman franchises had utterly collapsed after starting strongly and, with the exception of surprise hit Blade, Marvel’s superheroes had made little inroads into the world of film. At the turn of the millennium superheroes were more or less the preserve of Comic books and the occasional cartoon. Fast-forward to 2017 and comic book films, with their tales of science fiction heroism, dominate the box-office and assorted other media. Superheroes are everywhere today.

The success of X-Men made this possible. It also started scientist Barry Fitzgerald on a journey into the Science of Superheroics. Barry is a Research Scientist at Delft University of Technology, a Scientific Communicator and Author. Last year he published his popular science book Secrets of Superhero Science. In the book he discusses the real science and current scientific research that you need to know in order to create the superpowers of the superheroes. Iron Man suits, invisibility cloaks and web slingers are just some of the topics discussed. As well, of course, as the genetic superpowers of the X-Men.

So join us on Saturday November 11th for a screening of the film that started it all and an introduction/post-screening discussion with Barry Fitzgerald about the amazing science of superheroes and how the world of the X-Men is not as far away as we think.

Barry Fitzgerald Barry W. Fitzgerald was born in Limerick, Ireland on October 30th 1979, almost a year after the release of Superman. After graduating with a degree in Applied Physics from the University of Limerick (UL), he obtained a PhD in Computational Physics at UL. He currently works as a Research Scientist at the Process & Energy department at Delft University of Technology in The Netherlands. When he’s not watching superhero films or being a scientist, Barry trains for marathons and watches football at de Grolsch Veste, home of FC Twente Enschede. He has watched the 2016 film Captain America:Civil War more than 30 times and his superpower will always remain a closely kept secret.
