"20 Days In Mariupol" Ukrainian Film
2024-06-15 14:00 - 15:30 | 2249 West Superior Street, Chicago, IL 60612, 2249 West Superior Street, Chicago, IL, 60612, United States
An AP team of Ukrainian journalists trapped in the besieged city of Mariupol struggle to continue their work documenting atrocities of the Russian invasion. As the only international reporters who remain in the city, they capture what later become defining images of the war: dying children, mass graves, the bombing of a maternity hospital, and more.
After nearly a decade covering international conflicts, including the Russia-Ukraine war, for The Associated Press, 20 DAYS IN MARIUPOL is Mstyslav Chernov’s first feature film. The film draws on Chernov’s daily news dispatches and personal footage of his own country at war. It offers a vivid, harrowing account of civilians caught in the siege, as well as a window into what it’s like to report from a conflict zone, and the impact of such journalism around the globe.

Location:
4626 N Knox Ave. Chicago, IL 60630
We are thrilled to welcome Tommy Prine for a FREE SHOW in the Fifth Province Pub! Tommy Prine’s debut album, This Far South, is not only a long-awaited introduction but also a testimony to Prine’s 20s and the loss, love, and growth that have defined them. Co-produced by a close friend and kindred musical spirit, Ruston Kelly, and beloved Nashville engineer and producer Gena Johnson, the album is rich and dynamic, from cathartic jams to nostalgic storytelling. The son of late songwriting legend John Prine, Tommy Prine grew up in Nashville surrounded by music, art, and writing. As a child, he thought all parents were musicians because, to his father, “going to work” meant performing shows for adoring fans and writing songs. Tommy learned to play guitar by watching his father play, copying how his fingers moved, and inadvertently developing his own style. Summers in Ireland lent their own inspiration, as did 10 straight years camping at Bonnaroo. In 2023, Amazon Music named him one of their Breakthrough Artists to Watch, and in December, he made his Grand Ole Opry debut in December.
This is a free show. The Pub opens at 6PM, and Tommy plays, starting at 9PM

Kila, one of the most celebrated bands out of Ireland in the last decade, makes a rare intimate appearance at the Mayfair Theatre at the Irish American Heritage Center!
Often defined as contemporary Irish World music, Kíla fuses the effects of their melodies and Irish (Gaeilge) lyrics, Irish folk instruments such as whistles, fiddles, Uilleann pipes, bones, and bodhrán with djembe, congas, drums, mandolins, brass, and acoustic/electric/ bass guitars. Kíla’s eight members come from different musical backgrounds of traditional, classical, and rock.
The result is a fresh blend of freewheeling instrumentals, furious jigs, and primal rhythms that transcend the traditional boundaries of Irish music.

IRISH AMERICAN MOVIE HOOLEY
RETURNS FOR 2024

When a party gets rowdy, the Irish call it a “hooley.”
Tullamore D.E.W. Irish Whiskey & Hibernian Media proudly announce film selections for their 10th Annual “Irish American Movie Hooley”, scheduled this year at The Wilmette Theatre in Wilmette Sept. 27-28-29, 2024. It’s the only Irish American film festival in the world and this year we are so excited to present three extraordinary films.
Opening the Movie Hooley on Friday September 27th at 8PM will be the World Premiere SINS OF IRELAND. written and directed by our old friend Alex Fegan, who will attend this year’s Hooley. This feature documentary is told “Through the prism of the confession box, which has its origins in Ireland, Sins of Ireland is a portrait of an overlooked aspect of Ireland’s past and how it impacted many parts of the world. Fifteen Irish priests, known for hearing the confessions, outline what confession was supposed to be and, while confessing the sins of the church, what it became.” John Byrne of RTE calls it, “Genius – it would be a sin to miss it”
Saturday night, September 28th, will feature the 8PM special Chicago screening of KNEECAP, written and directed by Rich Peppiatt. Don’t miss this film, it’s bravura filmmaking at its Irish best! Michael Phillips of the Tribune recently wrote “Kneecap’ is a rousing Belfast hip hop ode to native tongues everywhere!” This film is often in the Irish language with English sub-titles and celebrates the funny, sexy, side of Irish rebellion with this coda, “Every word of Irish spoken is a bullet for Irish freedom.” Jessica Reynolds, the young actress who plays the sultry, “Georgia” the Femme fatale in KNEECAP, will make a personal appearance at this special screening.

Finally on Sunday at 5PM, Sept. 29th, the Hooley will present the Chicago premiere of Rita Davern’s evocative documentary film, STORIES I DIDN’T KNOW “It’s a family reunion … what could go wrong? Plenty, as we soon learn when Rita Davern exposes an ugly reality at the heart of a family legend.” We encourage our audience to come and meet Rita as she tells an emotional tale of her family, their roots in Ireland, and the shocking truths she’s discovered along the way.

Now in its’ tenth year, the Movie Hooley has introduced audiences to the very best in Irish and Irish American filmmaking, with opportunities to meet each individual writer, director, actor, or producer who have brought their films to Chicago, this year once again bringing the films directly to our audiences at The Wilmette Theatre in Wilmette.

Chicago Tribune columnist Rick Kogan said, “If your image of the Irish is trapped in some sort of playful Shamrock- “Danny Boy” realm, prepare yourselves for the dark but altogether satisfying world represented by the latest offerings of this year’s Irish American Movie Hooley.”

The films have grown in stature each year and the 10th Annual Movie Hooley promises to be our best yet. The Annual Movie Hooley is presented by Hibernian Media NFP, our local public charity dedicated to the preservation and promotion of Irish culture. We are proud to partner with Tullamore D.E.W. Irish Whiskey in presenting this year’s Hooley. Hibernian also produces a pair of weekly Irish American radio programs, their community web blog FreeCraic.com, an annual pilgrimage to Ireland, and a variety of other film, TV, live concerts and literary endeavors.

Sponsors of the 10th Annual Irish American Movie Hooley include The Hilton Chicago, Tullamore Dew Irish Whiskey and Madden Funds..

Tickets for each film are $12 and snacks and drinks are offered in the lobby.
