Join us for a special screening of Aisha (2022), Frank Berry's award-winning drama exploring migration, asylum and belonging through the story of a young Nigerian woman navigating Ireland's immigration system.

Starring acclaimed actors Letitia Wright and Josh O'Connor, the film is widely praised for its deeply humane and nuanced portrayal of displacement. It received the Audience Award at the 2022 Cork International Film Festival, while Berry won the 2023 IFTA Award for Best Director. 

The screening will be followed by a special Q&A session, offering audiences a unique opportunity to explore the research, creative process and lived experiences that shaped this powerful film.
