The Man who Wanted to Fly
Time: 18:30
Country: IE
Genre: Documentary
Duration: 88 mins
Directed by: Kevin Glynn
Synopsis: 14 June 1919 will remain one of the most important dates in aviation, when John Alcock (from Manchester) and Arthur Brown (from Glasgow) became the first to fly non-stop across the Atlantic, from Newfoundland to Clifden in Ireland. The film recalls the early days of aviation and how the achievement came about. Was screened in Clifden for the centenary celebrations this June. Truly fascinating.

The director will attend the projection for a post-screening Q&A.

Alcock & Brown, the True Story
Time: 20:30
Country: IE
Genre: Documentary
Duration: 82 mins
Directed by: Frank Shouldice
Synopsis: Five years in the making, this is a story of never stopping believing in dreams. Bobby Coote, now in his 80s, left school at 13 and spends most of his time fixing clocks and making violins, but he has never lost sight of his lifelong dream to fly. He organises a runway in a field and builds a hangar. Now he must buy a plane with his life savings... all the time when his brother thinks the whole idea is mad. A fascinating insight into many layers of Irish rural life, but Bobby is determined to get airborne, despite many setbacks.

The director will attend the projection for a post-screening Q&A.
