Cinema Book Club returns for the 2024 Autumn season with director Nora Fingscheidt’s adaptation of Amy Liptrot’s The Outrun, starring Saoirse Ronan.

After living life on the edge in London, Rona (Ronan) attempts to come to terms with her troubled past. She returns to the wild beauty of Scotland’s Orkney Islands where she grew up, hoping to heal. Adapted from Amy Liptrot’s bestselling memoir.
Cinema Book Club and Cúirt have joined forces for a unique monthly film/book club in Galway, curated and hosted by Cúirt International Festival of Literature in Pálás.

Each month, Cúirt selects a book-to-film adaptation to watch in our cinema and hosts a discussion afterwards in the Pálás bar. Read the book, then join Cúirt for the film and a discussion.

Great chats, great people and great fun on Thursdays mid-month!

Just show up on the night and join in. Everyone is welcome, even if you haven’t read the book.
