Almost a 110 years since the Easter Rising of 1916, the world is still beset with the problems that set this moment into effect.Through these two films we will take a look into the profound optimism and courage of those that sought to free Ireland from the shackles of British imperialism and capitalism, to the cold reality of what revolution means for the working class. The Rubberbandits Guide to 1916 provides a uniquely surreal take on teaching this history from this comedic duo, donned in plastic bag balaclavas and heavily inspired by the Dadaist movement, give you the sharpest social commentary on the background of the Easter Rebellion through the medium of their absurdist comedy. (45 minutes)As a film The Wind That Shakes the Barley is one of unrelenting terror and bloodshed, filled with constant chaos. With working class accents and dialects keenly preserved, all shouting over each other as debate and war never stops. ...What this film truly asks of us is whether the Irish Revolution was a socialist revolution or a nationalist one. ...Brought together with standout acting from it's protagonists Cillian Murphy and Pádraic Delaney, Ken Loach's Palme d'Or winning film stands out as one of his best.

19.00 = “THE RUBBERBANDITS GUIDE TO 1916” (45 min)
“The Rubberbandits Gudie to 1916,” (an Irish TV show) directed by James Cotter, 2016, 60 minutes / A documentary on the 1916 Easter Rising, written and performed by the duo Rubberbandits.
20.30 = “THE WIND THAT SHAKES THE BARLEY”
“The Wind that Shakes the Barley,” directed by Ken Loach, 2006, 127 minutes / You might expect a movie about the Irish struggle for independence from the British Empire during the 1920s to be a sweeping historical epic a la Braveheart, but The Wind That Shakes The Barley is instead a heartbreaking miniature portrait of the human impact that the brutal occupation has on the residents of a small County Cork village. Cillian Murphy is superb as Damien O’Donovan, a young medical student who is about to up sticks for London when he witnesses first-hand the savagery of British forces on his neighbors. Galvanized into action, he joins the local branch of the IRA, which is led by his brother Teddy (Pádraic Delaney).” - A Good Movie to Watch
