Classic film fans will love Cinephile Paradiso in Galway

Do you like classic movies? You're gonna love Cinephile Paradiso and their two upcoming events! Find out more here...

Cinephile Paradiso is a classic cinema collective which is made up of a monthly film club at Pálás Cinema, classic cinema events in cool venues around town and lots of other film collaborations in Galway.

Each month they handpick a classic film to watch on the big screen at Pálás Cinema, followed by a discussion in the Pálás Bar. Whether you’re a lover of screwball comedies, dark noirs, John Ford westerns, colourful MGM musicals, European auteurs, there is something for you on the first Thursday of every month at Cinephile Paradiso.

Cinephile Paradiso’s Classic Film Club returns this September to Pálás Cinema for their TWO year anniversary with a screening of Hitchcock’s acclaimed spy-thriller NORTH BY NORTHWEST.

In this gripping tale, advertising executive Roger Thornhill (Cary Grant) finds himself in hot water when he's mistaken for a man named George Kaplan. As he flees from both the police and foreign spies, he encounters the enigmatic Eve (Eva Marie Saint), which only leads to greater complications. Thornhill's desperate journey across the United States sees him pursued by agents of a shadowy organisation determined to smuggle government secrets out of the country. Also featuring Martin Landau, James Mason, and an iconic crop duster scene, NORTH BY NORTHWEST is a hallmark of Hitchcock's mastery of suspense.

Screening on the 5th of September at 6.30pm at Pálás Cinema.

Tickets are available via the Pálás Box Office or online HERE.

HOT GIRL SUMMER will wrap up at the Silent Cinema on the 14th of September with a screening of 1922 film BEYOND THE ROCKS starring the iconic Gloria Swanson and Rudolph Valentino.

Theodora Fitzgerald (Gloria Swanson) doesn't love Josiah Brown (Robert Bolder), but she agrees to marry the older millionaire so he can provide for her father and two sisters. Just as the young socialite has consigned herself to living in a loveless marriage, she meets the suave and handsome Lord Bracondale (Rudolph Valentino). Although she falls madly in love with Bracondale almost immediately, Theodora tries to resist his charms, but she can quell her love for only so long.

The screening will feature a live piano accompaniment (in true Silent Cinema style) and be followed by a post screening discussion (in true Cinephile Paradiso style!). Tickets available from www.silentcinema.ie
