In partnership with Glasgow St Patrick's Festival & Grace's Irish Centre:

 Conradh na Gaeilge Glaschú are delighted to be hosting a screening of the acclaimed 2007 bilingual film:
KINGS

on Wednesday 19th March from 7 - 9pm,

in Grace's Irish Centre, 18 Candleriggs (next door to Grace's Irish Bar)

​

'Kings' tells the story of a group of young men who leave the Conamara Gaeltacht in the mid-1970s, bound for London and filled with ambition for a better life. After thirty years, they meet again at the funeral of their youngest friend, Jackie. The film intersperses flashbacks of a lost youth in Ireland with the harsh realities of modern life where for some the thirty years has been hard, working in building sites across Britain. 

​

Written & directed by Tom Collins and based on Jimmy Murphy's play The Kings of the Kilburn High Road. 

The film is bilingual, having both Irish and English dialogue. 

​

It was selected as Ireland's official entry for the 2008 Academy Awards in the best foreign-language film category.
