CINEMOBILE MANORHAMILTON

TWO DAYS OF FILM FOR WOMEN

Saturday 12th November

4pm Build Something Modern
Q and A with Director Nicky Gogan

Build Something Modern tells the story of a hidden canon of Irish architecture; groundbreaking young architects who pushed the boundaries of Irish design, with surprisingly little recognition at home. From the 1950’s to the 1970’s adventurous architects, including Seán Rothery, Richard Hurley and Gerald Fay, eager to be among the first Irish modernists, travelled to Africa for excitement and creative freedom. At the same time, other Irish architects fresh out of university, were also given the opportunity to design modern buildings in Africa, but remarkably never got to see them.

8pm Winters Bone (15+)
17-year-old Ree Dolly (Jennifer Lawrence) sets out to track down her father, who put their house up for his bail bond and then disappeared. If she fails, Ree and her family will be turned out into the Ozark woods. Challenging her outlaw kin’s code of silence and risking her life, Ree hacks through the lies, evasions and threats offered up by her relatives and begins to piece together the truth. Based on the novel by Daniel Woodrell, WINTER’S BONE is the winner of the 2010 Sundance Film Festival’s Grand Jury Prize.

Sunday 13th November

4 pm Musical Mayhem
Cinema North West’s Colin McKeown presents a dazzling selection of clips from musical movies. Come along and Sing along.
For all ages

8pm Made in Dagenham (15+)
A dramatization of the 1968 strike at the Ford Dagenham car plant, where female workers walked out in protest against sexual discrimination.

Gardai issue flood warnings as deluge strikes north Leitrim

October 17, 2011

Published on Monday 17 October 2011 15:20  Courtesy of The Leitrim Observer

Gardai are urging motorists to drive with extreme caution as torrential rain has led to severe flooding across north Leitrim.

Worst affected is Glenfarne where at least one home has been flooded and two other properties are under threat from a sudden rise in the local river. The deluge has made the N16 impassable on the Manorhamilton side of the village and gardai are now diverting motorists via Belcoo.

The village of Dromahair has also been impacted by flooding with flooding reported near Killenummery National School and water levels in the River Bonnet rising by nearly a foot in just 15 minutes alone.

Gardai are warning motorists not to make any unnecessary journeys and to drive with extreme caution if you have to travel on the roads.
