New Collective Screening Tour of ‘Trad’
Film Hub NI and Queen’s Film Theatre are delighted to present a region wide tour of Lance Daly's TRAD, starring Aiden Gillen and Megan Nic Fhionnghaile. The tour takes place as part of the Fleadh at Queen’s programme.
Winner of the audience award at last year’s Galway Film Fleadh, Trad is a hugely entertaining celebration of Irish music, written and directed by Lance Daly (Kisses, Black ’47).
From their home in the Donegal Gaeltacht, gifted fiddle player Shóna McAnally and her little brother Mickey take to the road with a troupe of wandering musicians, on a cross-country journey of adventure, romance, and musical exploration.
Trad introduces rising Irish stars Megan Nic Fhionnghaile and Cathal Coade Palmer, alongside a standout supporting cast including Aidan Gillen (Game of Thrones, Kin), Sarah Greene (Bad Sisters, Black ‘47), Peter Coonan (King Frankie, Love/Hate) and Ann Skelly (Rose Plays Julie, Four Letters of Love).
‘Few recent fiction films have thumped along so convincingly to the louder beats of the traditional form.’ - Irish Times
