A special screening of the multi-award-winning Irish-language production An Cáilín Ciúin presented in association with The Film Corner and accompanied by pedagogic materials developed by this EU Funded Project.

The film follows Cáit – a nine-year-old girl from an overcrowded, dysfunctional family who is sent away to live with foster parents for the summer. Slowly, in the care of her new family, Cáit blossoms and discovers a new way of living. But in this house where there are meant to be no secrets, she discovers one painful truth.

The Film Corner is a Creative Europe funded project concerned with the design, development and testing of an innovative set of interactive resources hosted on an online interactive user-centred platform for film education and audience engagement. The platform is being developed by a consortium of partners led by the Cineteca Milano (Milan, Italy) and including the Huston School of Film & Digital Media, University of Galway; Jugoslovenska Kinoteka, the Serbian national film archive (Belgrade, Serbia); The University of Milano-Bicocca (Milan, Italy); Kino Otok (Ljubjana, Slovenia) and the Georgia National Film Centre (Tiblisi, Georgia).
