Carrick Film Society

14/04/2026

Carrick Film Society is back! In association with Eclipse Cinemas we’re delighted to return with a special screening of Horseshoe. Winner of Best Film at the Galway Film Fleadh 2025 Horseshoe is a richly layered drama-comedy with a sharp emotional edge. Co-directed by Adam O’Keefe and Edwin Mullane, the film follows the Canavan siblings as they return to their crumbling family home after the death of their estranged father.

As long-buried secrets begin to surface, old rivalries reignite and tensions build in a story that balances dark humour with emotional depth. Featuring haunting music from John Francis Flynn, this film is intimate, sharply observed and stands out as a confident and compelling piece of contemporary Irish cinema. We are especially excited to welcome the film’s director, Edwin Mullane for a live Q&A on the night.
Don’t miss it! This Thursday, Eclipse Cinema, Carrick on Shannon, April 16 at 8:20pm. See you there!

After a long wait and many enquiries, we’re delighted to announce that Carrick Film Society is back!
We’re returning with a shorter than usual season, but we’re excited to share that a full Autumn programme is on the way.
Keep your eyes on our social media for updates, screening details, and more news over the coming weeks. It’s good to be back!

Our opening film is Horseshoe and we are delighted to welcome director Edwin Mullane for a Q&A after the screening.
Horseshoe, co-directed with Adam O’Keeffe, is a beautifully observed Irish comedy-drama full of warmth, wit and emotional depth. Set against striking west of Ireland landscapes, the film blends sharp humour with heartfelt performances to create a story that feels both intimate and universal. Winner of Best Irish First Feature at the Galway Film Fleadh, it marks an impressive debut for two exciting new voices in Irish cinema.
Don’t miss this brilliant opening to our season, Thursday, April 16. All welcome!

Don’t miss this weeks film “Paradise Is Burning” — directed by Mika Gustafson — a raw-edged, haunting coming-of-age drama that stays with you long after the credits roll. It follows three sisters left to fend for themselves when their mother disappears, capturing the dangerous freedom and fragile solidarity of childhood in crisis. The film has already earned high praise and major awards — including Best Film at the 59th Guldbagge Awards and the Sutherland Award for Best First Feature at the BFI London Film Festival.
If you’re ready for a film that’s unforgiving but deeply human — a film that shows sisterhood, survival and youthful angst under the scorching weight of reality — this one is powerful beyond words.

Thursday, 8:30, Carrick Cineplex. All welcome!

Don’t miss our next film, 8:30, Thursday Carrick Cineplex.

On Falling, directed by Laura Carreira, is a quietly devastating portrait of isolation and exploitation — centering on Aurora, a Portuguese warehouse worker trapped in the relentless grind of modern capitalism. The film has already earned Carreira the Silver Shell for Best Director at San Sebastián and the Sutherland Award for Best First Feature at the BFI London Film Festival. With a 96% score on Rotten Tomatoes, it’s been praised as a “chilling exposé disguised as social-realist drama.” A very impressive debut.
