We are a 100 seater touring cinema owned and operated by filmmakers and film lovers. We operate in the North West of Ireland, screening World Cinema, Independent and Irish feature films.
We curate many small festivals throughout the year including two major ones Adaptation and Lightbox.
We are available for dry hire and partnerships also, just contact us to enquire.
We recently moved into the arena of distributing Irish feature films, we partner with filmmakers in bringing their work through our unique distribution platform to audiences.
Our friends, the Light House Cinema, in Smithfield in Dublin is the fabulous venue which will screen Swansong. Conor McDermottroe will be there after the screening on Friday 10th at 6:30 to answer questions and discuss the film.
Conor then travels to Tubbercurry on Saturday 11th. The North Wests first stop on the tour by Cinema North West, to introduce the film to the town which saw it being made. Should be a great night!
Prior to our Swansong launch on Friday Week, some press coverage has started to flow in. In the meantime, you can read a preliminary interview with Conor over at In Dublin this week. Check it out.

This shows our driver/projectionist Tommy Aherne as he closes up the cinemobile at the end of a night. You can see our old livery, more than likely this was done in the early days when Leitrim County Council ran the cinema.
