Into The Spotlight: An Exploration of Irish-Language Film and Music
This day of talks from leading experts will explore various facets of modern Irish-language media, from the diverse world of Irish popular music to the rise and rise of the Irish film industry.
The last few years have seen a flourishing of Irish-language music, television and film. From
the international attention won by Irish rap group Kneecap to the first ever Oscar nomination
for an Irish-language movie (An Cailín Ciúin in 2023), it is clear that Irish media is popular
as never before.
Note: There is no need to know any Irish to attend – all are welcome! Talks will either be in
English or any Irish elements will be translated.
