On Thursday, November 15, from 4 to 6:30 in the Heritage
Room of the Maxwell Library, the Irish Studies Program and the BSU Celtic Club
will host a Pizza and Picture film event to screen The Wind that Shakes the Barley, a 2006 Irish
historical drama and winner of the Cannes
Film Festival's Palm d'Or, starring Cillian Murphy. A discussion will follow.
From IMDB:
"The
Wind that Shakes the Barley is set during the Irish War
of Independence in the early 1920s. Damien, an Irish medical student, is about
to leave Ireland to complete his training in London, but before doing so witnesses
atrocious brutalities carried out by the Black and Tans which leads him to join
his brother Teddy in the Irish Republican Army. Soon however, the peace treaty is signed,
and the brothers are pitted against each other."
This event is part of International Education Week. The BSU community and the public are welcome to attend.
Pizza and snacks will be provided.
