U.S. Premiere of A Terrible Beauty – Irish film about the 1916 Rising.
Saturday, September 6th at 6.00 pm
International House of Philadelphia
The Irish Immigration Center, in partnership with AOH Dennis Kelly, Div. 1, Delaware County, Pa. and the Irish Easter Centennial Commemoration Committee, is delighted to present the U.S. premiere of A Terrible Beauty/Áille an Uafáis, a 90-minute feature docudrama that takes a unique look at the 1916 Easter Rising in Dublin.
Using firsthand accounts of the events of Easter week, A Terrible Beauty tells the little-known stories of ordinary people involved in the Rising: Irish Volunteers, British soldiers and the innocent civilians caught in the middle. The film focuses on two of the most ferocious battles during the Rising of 1916 and mixes archive footage, dramatic reconstructions and firsthand accounts to give an up-close and personal view of one of the defining events of modern Irish history.
A Terrible Beauty was made by renowned history filmmakers, Tile Films, who also made Death on the Railroad, the story of the murders at Duffy’s Cut in Malvern, Pa.
