Terry Fitzgerald is a self-taught watercolour artist based in Co. Louth. She grew up in central Pennsylvania, USA and came to Ireland 13 years ago after living in the Netherlands and England. Always interested in art, and more specifically watercolours, it was not until she joined an artist’s group in Co. Cork that her gift began to emerge. Through her watercolours, she tells stories of the hidden beauty of everyday objects and simple expressions of life. These images include still life, wildlife, landscape, and portraiture. “I like to look at simple things and then try to paint them, in a realistic way. After I have painted several images, I then try to find a connection, a link, a thread that brings them together. It could be the colour of the object, it could be the light, or it could be the moment. I love making these connections and then creating a simple story. Through my paintings and the simple messages, I want to touch the viewer in a way that evokes a memory or a story of their own.”

It may seem that Halloween nowadays is a time for children only, but I know some old people yet who prefer (in time honoured fashion) not be out alone between midnight and 4.00 a.m. on Halloween night – for fear of The Good People, Na Daoine Uaisle, whose night it is. All kinds of otherworldly dangers await the unwary on this night, and Eddie has stories to reflect this – as well as many others of course. “In fact, whatever themes the audience request I will do my best to match stories to, no matter whether they relate to this world or the otherworldly”.
From 8:30pm to approx. 9:45pm. Eddie Lenihan (born 1950) is an Irish author, storyteller, lecturer and broadcaster. He is one of the few practicing seanchaithe (traditional Irish lore-keepers and tale-spinners) remaining in Ireland. He has been called “one of the greatest Irish story-tellers and a national treasure.”

This award-winning first feature from actor-turned-director John Carroll Lynch (Fargo, Zodiac) allows Harry Dean Stanton to shine as the elderly atheist seeking the meaning of his life. Stanton's final on-screen performance is funny, touching and beguiling, and all the more poignant in the knowledge that he passed away just days before the film’s US cinema release.

"Everything Harry Dean Stanton has done in his career, and his life, has brought him to his moment of triumph in Lucky, an unassumingly wonderful little film about nothing in particular and everything that’s important.” – Variety

Director: John Carroll Lynch
Duration: 88 minutes
Language: English
