Art Connects – At Home with Smashing Times

Online film screening of Tell Them Our Names, a film by Mary Moynihan, 3 April, 2020, 7.30pm

Followed by a discussion with guest speakers Clodagh Finn, author of A Time to Risk All and Mary Moynihan, director. Our theme is women’s stories of WWII with a focus on inspiring stories of women handling adversity in difficult times in the past and today.

This online event is the International Premiere of Tell Them Our Names, an imagined re-creation of moments from the lives of five powerful women during WWII recalling moments of bravery, sacrifice and love amidst the horror of war, as women stood up against Fascism and totalitarianism and refused to accept oppression.

Guest speakers are Mary Moynihan, theatre and film-maker and Artistic Director, Smashing Times, and writer and journalist Clodagh Finn, author of A Time to Risk All, the incredible untold story of Mary Elmes, the Irish woman who saved children from Nazi concentration camps. Clodagh’s latest book is Through Her Eyes: A New History of Ireland in 21 Women. Told through the prism of the lives of 21 extraordinary women, this remarkable book offers an alternative vision of Irish history – one that puts the spotlight on women whose contributions have been forgotten or overlooked.*

Tell Them Our Names is directed by Mary Moynihan and created by Smashing Times Theatre and Film Company and High Wire Ltd, and was selected for the Kerry Film Festival and London Eye International Film Festival. Join us for an online film screening – the film is 16 minutes - followed by a post-screening forum discussion on the theme of ‘inspiring stories of women handling adversity in difficult times in the past and today’.

Film screening and post-screening talk at 7.30pm on Friday 3 April.
