A.O.H FILM SHOWS

The A.O.H. Film Society�s winter festival will continue with just two more screenings with an historical theme. On the evening of Sunday, December 13th, in the Criterion Ballroom at 23 Foyle Street the epic film, MISE EIRE, will be shown. Containing unrivalled archive footage from the period between 1896 and 1916, such is accompanied by the innovative and dramatic score of the late Sean O�Riada. Prior to his untimely death he was considered a genius in Irish traditional music circles, and is now best remembered for providing the outstanding musical background to this highly informative film project of the mid-1960s.

An invitation has been extended to over thirty families of those killed and wounded on January 30th 1972 in Derry�s Bogside during a civil rights demonstration against internment without charge or trial and the ill-treatment of detainees which began on the previous August 9th. Other special invitations for the Sunday, December 20th screening of BLOODY SUNDAY have been accepted by Mr. and Mrs. Ivan Cooper, and one has been e-mailed to the northern film actor James Nesbitt, who played the central character. This film, written by the renowned director, Paul Greengrass, was inspired by the Derry-born author, Don Mullan, who penned the harrowing book, �Eyewitness Bloody Sunday�. The factual drama follows the civil rights leader, Ivan Cooper, through that fateful and tragic day in the history of our city. Other former civil rights leaders and veterans of that era, in addition to members of the general public are cordially invited to attend both film shows.

Screenings on both Sunday evenings commence at 8 p.m. and admission is free of charge.
