Cal
Against the Grain: 1980s British Cinema
Event details
Directed by Pat O’Connor
Starring Helen Mirren, John Lynch, Donal McCann
Out of Ireland’s struggle, a passionate love is born: Cal, a young man on the fringes of the IRA, falls in love with Marcella, a Catholic woman whose husband, a Protestant policeman, was killed one year earlier by the IRA.
Pat O’Connor’s bold, passionate drama, featuring an award-winning performance from Helen Mirren (Best Actress, 1984 Cannes Film Festival) and a score by Mark Knopfler, remains as shocking, audacious and intimate as ever — and is ready to be rediscovered, newly remastered, after years of only a single 35mm print being available for exhibition.
Cinema Rediscovered On Tour is a Watershed project in collaboration with principal sponsors Park Circus and StudioCanal. With Support from BFI Audience Projects Fund awarding National Lottery funding.
The lift to the cinema from Storyhouse’s entrance lobby is currently out of order. We’re working to get this fixed as soon as possible.
There is not currently a route with no steps to the cinema, the Book Pod, the Library Quiet Zone or the Library Meeting Room.
In the mean time, if you’d prefer a route with fewer steps to the Cinema, Book Pod, Quiet Zone or Meeting Room, please take the Garret lift (from The Kitchen, next to the Ticket desk) to Floor 1 and walk along the mezzanine to the cinema – this route has seven steps.
