Director: Tomm Moore Stars: David Rawle, Brendan Gleeson, Lisa Hannigan In the Name of Peace Australian Premier Film Screening John Hume saw that by harnessing the political influence of the Irish-America diaspora in Washington it was possible to address the legacy of colonial division in Ireland and to achieve peace. 'In the Name of Peace: John Hume in America' is a compelling feature documentary, narrated by Liam Neeson, with dramatic footage from the conflict in Northern Ireland and stirring accounts by Presidents Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter as well as US Congressmen and Senators. This film shows how one man with courage and charisma, inspired by Martin Luther King, mobilized Irish Americans and America to bring an end to years of bloody violence in his homeland. With a musical score by Bill Whelan (Riverdance), this beautiful film reminds us of the redemptive powers of politics to overcome hatred and division: in the words of Hume's fellow Derryman, Seamus Heaney, when, ‘once in a lifetime, the longed-for tidal wave of justice can rise up, and hope and history rhyme’. At a time of great world instability, this is a timely film highlighting creative leadership and the need for steady international co-operation A film by Maurice Fitzpatrick. Original music by Bill Whelan. Narrated by Liam Neeson. Sing Street Inspired by writer director John Carney's life and love for music, 'Sing Street' tells the story of a 14-year-old named Cosmo growing up in 80s Dublin who must break free of a home strained by his parents relationship and money troubles, deal with his drop-out older brother’s antics, and survive a new public school where the kids are rough and the brothers are tougher. Cosmo writes a song, forms a scrappy band with some school mates, writes more songs, and shoots some wicked music videos. How to shoot pop videos in a recession ridden country? Beg, borrow and steal. And steal. But when he realizes he can't save his family, he must make a family of his own. Director: John Carney Starring: Ferdia Walsh-Peelo, Lucy Boynton, Jack Reynor Maze Australian Premier Film Screening Based on the true story of the 1983 mass break-out of 38 prisoners from the HMP Maze high security prison, Maze is a gripping prison break film that follows the relationship between two men on opposite sides of the prison bars.
