Terror at Teeling: The Exorcist comes to the Dublin Distillery

October is fast approaching and you know what that means…okay yes, pumpkin spice lattes are back and that’s all very well and good. But more importantly, Halloween season is with us again and fans of all things spooky and/or scary should be sure to keep logging in to read about the many Halloweeny screenings taking place throughout Dublin in the run up to October 31st. We’ve already talked about some of the Stephen King horror films that will be shown at the Light House Cinema for their Dear Constant Reader season starting soon, but a less expected venue will be hosting a horror movie showing very soon, and it’s one of the big ones.

If you come out for the King, you best not miss Dear Constant Reader at the Light House

With television shows like Stranger Things receiving so much attention and accolades and the latest film version of It having the biggest horror opening of all time, earning over £9,884,000 across 604 cinemas in the UK and Ireland since it’s release, it’s safe to say that interest in the works of Stephen King is pretty high right now. Apart from The Dark Tower. No doubt every Hollywood studio is sifting through the archives to see what they own the rights to so they can green-light new versions of King’s book asap, but you needn’t wait that long if you’ve seen It and want more of King’s imagination put forth on the big screen, as the Light House Cinema will be spending Halloween season showing film versions of classic King stories.

Seminar on ‘Balancing the Industry’ exploring strategies for Women in Film and TV

Gender Equality is becoming a bit of a buzz phrase to gain good PR in the entertainment industry. But when the BBC published their pay gap, and with film stars regularly coming out about their struggles for pay parity, it’s clear that we still have a long way to go to reach true equality.

Creative Europe Desk Ireland MEDIA & Women in Film and Television Ireland have put together an event looking at European strategies to achieve gender balance in the film and television industries. This free seminar takes a practical approach by collecting successful women working within the industry and getting them to share their experiences, and struggles.

Hacks Season at the Light House celebrates movies about journos

Journalists. Intrepid crusaders for truth and justice, or cynical slingers of sensationalism and the now-dreaded ‘fake news’? It might be some combination of the two (except of course for self-appointed film critics, whose dedication and value are without question), but the world of journalism has always been of interest to filmmakers, with its capacity for high stakes, morality plays and occasionally, a quickly-escalating news team brawl. All through September into early October, the Light House Cinema will be screening an extensive selection of great films about journalists, news anchors, newspaper men and more in the media, with classics both cult and canonised from some of the biggest names in Western filmmaking. Exploring journalism in all its forms, ‘Hacks’ season is here and we have the full schedule for you to peruse.Read more…
