About the Event
ONCE UPON A TIME IN A CINEMA, a comedy-drama set in a small-town cinema during one eventful
Friday night screening from hell. Over the course of one evening, the film follows the travails of
beleaguered cinema owner Earl Clancy (Colin Morgan) as he faces a myriad of disasters, any one of
which could sink him. Drawing from writer/director David Gleeson’s own experience growing up in a family
of cinema owners where his father’s 78-year career marked the longest in the cinema business in Ireland,
if not the world, ONCE UPON A TIME IN A CINEMA is a love letter to a peculiarly Irish cinema
