Seachtar na Cásca (1916)
The 1916 Rising Centenary Committee (Scotland) and the Pádraig Pearse Branch of Conradh na Gaeilge have come together to organise screenings of the acclaimed 1916: Seachtar na Cásca historical documentary series, in the centenary of the Rising.
This series, produced by Abú Media, is narrated by Brendan Gleeson and features dramatic reconstructions of key events. Each film in the series examines the life of one of the seven men who were the signatories of the 1916 Easter Proclamation. The films are in Irish (with subtitles) and English.
This is an ideal opportunity to learn about the seven leaders who were executed for their part in Easter Rising. Find out what brought them on the road to revolution and why it is so important to keep their memories alive.
The 7th, and final, film in the series, to be shown at 7pm & 8pm, is about Pádraig Pearse - Gaelic Leaguer, Educator and President of the Provisional Government of the Rising.
Admission to these screenings is free, and tickets can be booked via Eventbrite.
