SUMMARY:Brigid Film Season 2026 - The Voice of Hind Rajab
DESCRIPTION:Date: 24/02/26 \nTime: 8 p.m. \nA powerful docudrama built around the 2024 audio recording of a call between Hind Rajab – a young girl seemingly alone in a damaged car in Gaza after a firefight – and the dispatchers at a Red Crescent emergency response centre. \nUsing the striking formal device of the real-life audio recording paired with actors recreating the events in the call centre\, Kaouther Ben Hania’s film is a devastating account of one of the most heartbreaking stories of the Gaza War. \nHind Rajab’s story is almost too terrible to face\, yet this film demands we bear witness. \nTickets €7 available in Woodbine Books or Eventbrite link on the Kilcullen Bridge Cinema Instagram page (@kilcullenbridgecinema).

SUMMARY:Brigid Film Season 2026 - Souleymane's Story
DESCRIPTION:Date: 17/02/26 \nTime: 8 p.m. \nBoris Lojkine’s portrait of a modern migrant propels us into the precarious world of an otherwise invisible man. Steeped in compassion\, Souleymane’s Story combines the pace of a thriller with the emotional wallop of a social drama. \nAn award-winning French production in which the dynamic storytelling is matched by a star-making performance from charismatic newcomer Abou Sangaré as Souleymane. \nIt is a raw\, compassionate and quietly devastating film about one man forced to live precariously on the fringes of society. \nTickets €7 available in Woodbine Books or Eventbrite link on the Kilcullen Bridge Cinema Instagram page (@kilcullenbridgecinema).
