Conor McDermottroe to launch Swansong in Dublin



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!

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.
