'His & Hers' features stories from different generations of Irish women.
The multi-award winning feature film 'His & Hers', which features a number of Meath participants, goes on general release later this month.
His & Hers is a cinematic mosaic that tells a 90-year-old love story through the collective voice of 70 ladies at different stages in their lives. The hallways, living rooms, and kitchens of the Irish midlands become the canvas for the film's rich tapestry of female characters. The story unfolds sequentially from young to old, and the characters are charmingly unabashed; while the younger contributors are animated in discussing their relationships with their other halves, the older women describe their love, and often their bereft love, with grace and candor.
Thirteen women from across Co Meath feature: Eimear Peters, Laura Dixon, Sonia Leavy, Shauna Doherty, Marilyn Peters, Joan Leavy, Monica Morris, Angela Smith, Eileen Dixon, Liz O'Rourke, Mary Jo Needham, Frances Khouri and Noeleen Perle.
His & Hers celebrates the ordinary moments that add up to the extraordinary. Individually each piece works on its own, but together they create an emotional portrait that explores the way we share life's journey with others. The IMC Cinema in Athlone will host a special advanced screening on 17th June before it goes on general release from 18th June. Director Ken Wardrop will be in attendance along with members of the cast.
The Cinemobile will be touring with this brand new release, and will be stopping in Oldcastle as part of the tour, on Monday 21st June at Gilson Park GAA grounds, with screening times, 6pm and 8pm. Tickets are available from www.cinemobile.ie, and tictets for the Athlone screening are still available from www.imccinemas.ie.
