Film on tour

The Audi Dublin International Film Festival is on tour, bringing the perfect film to mark 100 years since Irish women got the vote to Sligo!

A special screening of Petra Volpe’s The Divine Order will take place in The Model on 1st March at 8.00pm

The Divine Order is a heartwarming and funny drama about the fight for votes for women in Switzerland in 1971.

It follows unassuming housewife Nora who makes a stand for change in a quiet village and runs up against some resistance. It’s a timely, character- driven stor y that shows the political is always the personal.

The event will also feature a screening Newport Gun Girls, Lauren Orme’s animated short about women who worked at a gun-producing factor y in Wales during WWII.
