Presented in co-operation with the Goethe-Institut Irland. Attentive and quiet, Christian (Franz Rogowski) is a new hire assigned to the “Beverages” aisle in an East German hypermarket, where he learns the ropes from the gruff, burly veteran Bruno (Peter Kurth). Peering through the shelves, he is drawn to Marion (Sandra Hüller), who works in the “Sweet Goods” aisle.
While mastering the light touch and meticulous timing required to manage a forklift, Christian bonds with Bruno and flirts with Marion. But his gentleness is shadowed by murky hints of a less peaceful past: he is covered from neck to wrist in densely-inked tattoos. In the Aisles is an understated, concise story about frustrated hopes and desires, and how we long for the freedom to forge our own destiny. Winner - Prize of the Ecumenical Jury, Berlin International Film Festival 2018 Winner - Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role, German Film Awards 2018 "The amusing and entertaining thing about In the Aisles is that it is, in its way, a love letter to the vast, mysterious and strangely beautiful cathedral that is the vast retail warehouse where Marion, Bruno and Christian work. In the Aisles is a poignant and richly sympathetic film.” - Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian Director: Thomas Stuber SEAC Friends/Members - FREE, advance booking essential Concessions and guests of SEAC Friends/Members - €4 in advance, €6 at the door Non-Members - €5 in advance, €7 at the door Website: http://accesscinema.ie

On the back of a wonderful series of sell-out concerts and festivals to launch their latest album 'Family', Cork trio Greenshine makes a welcome return to The SEAC.
'Family' received many accolades including being made Eve Blair’s Late Show Album of the Week on BBC Ulster, Euro American Charts’ “Ones to Watch”, KCLRfm ‘Ceol Anocht’ with Martin Bridgeman “Record of the Week”. Christy Moore described Greenshine as "...the sound of a family immersed in music, tight in harmony, in love with song," - a fitting tribute to a family who has made music their life
Hallmarks of a Greenshine performance are tight family harmonies, multi instrumental work, the strength of their own song-writing and choice of wonderful songs written by songwriters they admire including John Prine and Townes Van Zandt. Two singles released from 'Family', 'Dandelion Seed' and 'The Good is Gone' were co-written by Ellie and Mary and both hit the No. 1 spot on RTE Radio 1's Airplay list where they rested for several weeks, emulating the success of previous single ‘The Girl In The Lavender Dress’ (which went on to be third most played Irish track on RTE Radio 1 in the year of its release). A third single, 'Brother' from the album which Mary wrote with Cork songwriter Cormac O' Caoimh has reached No. 2 in the RTE Airplay Chart. "Just waiting any day now for their music to take off in the States. Their melodies and musicianship are just top notch, totally effortless” - Mathieu Norry, RTE Radio1 & RTE Lyric FM "This album is simply stunning" - Jimmy Stafford, Highland Radio Website: http://greenshinemusic.com
Noel and Mary have appeared on the albums of artists as diverse as The Republic of Loose, Dr. Strangely Strange and Christy Moore while Ellie has sung on projects including Ger Shine's 'All The While' and Grandfather 'Paddy Greene's Family Album'. Their latest album is dedicated to families in all their forms and features material which runs the gamut of emotions from happiness to grief.Doors Open: 8:00pm

Featuring local traditional musicians and special guests.
All musicians and listeners welcome.
Be sure to get here early to grab a good seat!
Shadows and Light make a welcome return to the Séamus Ennis Arts Centre; where they filled the venue and were rewarded with a standing ovation. Now a four-piece, with percussionist Dave McCune adding extra sparkle and energy, the combination of Maura Vambeck on vocals, David Mulligan on vocals and guitars, and Paul Enright on keyboards - brings Joni’s music to a whole new level. While their performances are true to the originals and to the spirit of Joni, they succeed in bringing something new, alive and fresh - making the genius of Joni’s words and music more present and relevant to us today.
By recounting wonderful little stories between the songs, and highlighting lyrics from the songs - the show becomes more than just the captivating and beautifully-performed songs - Maura brings us on a magical tour through Joni’s life, from her early and troubled beginnings, to the Blue album, through her various and famous lovers, the Woodstock years, acute observations on American life, on touring, her heartbreaks and joys, and the poignant story of her daughter. We navigate around musical genres too - as Joni did - weaving from folk to jazz, pop and even orchestral. If you know a bit of Joni, you will love this. If you know no Joni, you’re in for a treat.
