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 🙂

hole for shelter which may be nothing but temporary bliss.
