What Richard Did: Screening next week

On Tuesday October 2, the IFI in Dublin will host an advance screening of What Richard Did, a new Irish film by director Lenny Abrahamson.

Loosely based on Kevin Power’s novel Bad Day In Blackrock - the film is a fictionalised account of the infamous Club Anabel killing of 2000.

Jack Reynor plays Richard Karlsen, a privileged Dublin teenager whose life changes completely in the course of one fateful night.

Read a review of the film by Roe McDermott - "Beautifully shot and unfolding with elegance and grace, Abrahamson’s films never judges its characters, merely tells their tale, and the result is a stunning and humanistic tragedy..."

- and an interview with director Lenny Abrahamson in next week's issue of Hot Press.

The screening on Tuesday at 8pm is a fundraiser for the National Campaign for the Arts. See [link]www.ifi.ie/film/national-campaign-for-the-arts-fundraiser[/link] for details and to buy tickets.
