The fifth edition of the Italian Film Festival Ireland returns to Galway from Saturday, April 25.

Since his arrival as part of the modern wave of Greek filmmakers, Yorgos Lanthimos’ move to English-language films has been seamless. Working with recognisable actors and making films for more commercial markets, he remains faithful to his unique approach.

GFS’s opening film is the Galway premier of French drama La Syndicaliste, which tells the extraordinary real-life story of Mayo-born Maureen Kearney, a senior French trade unionist-turned-whistleblower, who was forced to fight for justice.
