The Secret of Kells – Irish Language Version

In the remote Irish woods, Cellach (Brendan Gleeson) prepares a fortress for an impending attack by a Viking war party. Unbeknown to Cellach, his young nephew Brendan (Evan McGuire) — who has no taste for battle — works secretly as an apprentice in the scriptorium of the local monastery, learning the ancient art of calligraphy. As the Vikings approach, revered illuminator Aidan (Mick Lally) arrives at the monastery and recruits Brendan to complete a series of dangerous, magical tasks. The Secret of Kells was Kilkenny based animation company Cartoon Saloon’s first feature film and was directed by Tomm Moore with Nora Twomey as Co-director. Nominated for an Academy Award in 2010 for best animated feature, The Secret of Kells has screened and won awards in major festivals worldwide.

This screening will be Irish language with English subtitles.
