We had a fantastic night at the Little Cinema on Wed 25th Sept, with a really great audience and a brilliant mix of films, sketches, music videos and documentaries!
Little Cinema September
We have links to some of the films that were screened and you can check them out here. Not all are online, but the ones that are are below, happy viewing 🙂
1 Carmen Garcia Gonzalez –
I’m a student living in a hostel: The housing crisis in Galway
A day in the life of an Irish young woman who has to sort out university studies while living in a hostel because, for more than a year, she couldn’t find a house to live. Very thought provoking documentary brilliantly executed by Carmen! She is leaving Galway soon and has been a big addition to the Little Cinema while she has been here, we’re sure we’ll be seeing more from her in the future 🙂

Harry Bo made a great documentary about Gliondar, a Community Arts Group in Athenry, Co. Galway. They do spectacle and street theatre and this doc was a highlights video of one of their events, really well captured by Harry Bo!

hole for shelter which may be nothing but temporary bliss.
