Two Special Kerry Q&A Screenings Announced to Celebrate the Release of Lady Macbeth

Kerry is currently experiencing  a golden era in filmmaking  as the county has been enjoying a flood of rare cinematic delights in the last few months, from last years screening of the newly restored 1930's iconic movie "The Dawn" at the Cinema Killarney  to the highly successful Dingle International Film Festival during March of this year and more recently the movie "Making It" which was written, directed and produced  by current trainees and former trainees at National Digital Skills Centre at Kerry ETB Training Centre in Tralee which enjoyed a popular run in Tralee Omniplex less than two weeks ago.
Now added to the list is the two highly anticipated previews screenings of Lady Macbeth at Cinema Killarney and Tech Amergin on the eve of its national release which also include a Q&A with Oscar-nominated Kerry filmmaker Fodhla Cronin O’Reilly.
Lady Macbeth is set in rural England in the 1860's and introduces us to Katherine (played by Florence Pugh) who is stifled by a loveless marriage to a bitter man twice her age, and his cold, unforgiving family. When she embarks on a passionate affair with a young worker on her husband’s estate, a force is unleashed inside her so powerful that she will stop at nothing to get what she wants.
Lady Macbeth has been a huge hit on the film festival circuit and has picked up a number of  awards at festivals in Toronto, LFF, San Sebastian, Zurich, Glasgow and Dublin already this year. Florence Pugh also received the Breakthrough Award for which both she and director William Oldroyd were nominated at this year’s Evening Standard Film Awards.
Critics have also been high in their praise of this feature film with the Telegraph describing Lady Macbeth as "Mesmerising" whilst Indiewire likens it to "Hitchcock directing Wuthering Heights”.
This is ultimately a cinematic opportunity too good to miss. Please see below for tickets details:
