Irish Studies Series to Conclude With Heartfelt Irish-Language Film, Oct. 25

The Quiet Girl will be presented at 7 p.m. in the Multimedia Room of the DiMenna-Nyselius Library.

On Wednesday, Oct. 25, the Irish in Film Series, presented by 国产色情片's Irish Studies Program, will show the soul-stirring Irish-language film The Quiet Girl ("An Cailin Ciuin") at 7 p.m. This emotionally charged cinematic adaptation, directed by Colm Bairead and based on Clare Keegan's novella Foster, will conclude the Irish in Film Series on a powerful note. The film, presented with English subtitles, follows the poignant journey of Cait, a nine-year-old girl from a poor, dysfunctional family in rural Ireland, portrayed by Catherine Clinch.

Set against the backdrop of Ireland's picturesque landscapes, The Quiet Girl delves into the life of Cait, an unwanted child burdened by a harsh reality. Her parents, Mary and Dan, starkly contrast with her foster parents, Eibhlin and Sean Kinsella. While Dan embodies brutishness, alcoholism, and irresponsibility, Sean stands as a beacon of kindness and stability. Cait's transformative journey takes center stage, as she blossoms into a happy and talkative girl under the care of the Kinsellas, providing a heartwarming contrast to her life with her birth parents. The film, narrated from Cait's perspective, portrays her coming-of-age story with a delicate touch and a profound emotional depth.

As the movie unfolds, Cait's resilience and her ability to find solace in her foster family become evident. Professor Marion White, co-director of the Irish Studies Program and member of the English Department, will introduce the film. After the screening, White will field questions and lead a discussion about the film's themes, character development, and the broader context of Irish cinema.

The long-running Irish in Film Series, which showcased a diverse array of Irish films each Wednesday this October, has been popular in the community for more than 16 years.

The series, which is free and open to the public, has successfully bridged cultures and brought the community together through the power of cinema.
