Write Out West Festival: Film Screening: Brooklyn

“Brooklyn” tells the profoundly moving story of Eilis Lacey, a young Irish immigrant navigating her way through 1950s Brooklyn. Rated M.

The movie session is best suited for adults. Tea, coffee and light refreshments provided. Tickets cost $5 per person. Bookings are essential.

Lured by the promise of America, Eilis departs Ireland and the comfort of her mother's home for the shores of New York City. The initial shackles of homesickness quickly diminish as a fresh romance sweeps Eilis into the intoxicating charm of love. But soon, her new vivacity is disrupted by her past, and Eilis must choose between two countries and the lives that exist within.

Rated M.
