This weekend, you are invited to another 2-film screening themed on Love: Once (Ireland) and A Very Long Engagement (French).

About Once

Once is a musical film set in Dublin, the capital of Ireland.

It tells the story of an Irishman, played by Glen Hansard, who plays the guitar on a popular shopping street in Dublin, and a young Czech flower-seller, played by Marketa Irglova. The Irishman and Czech girl start talking and discover their mutual interest in music. Together, they sing and play music and the story follows them as they record a demo CD together. This is also a tale of unrequited romance.
Made in Ireland on a shoestring budget, with the support of the Irish Film Institute, the film features scenes of Dublin city and beautiful music by its musician stars. It received the 2008 Academy Award for Best Original Song. It has recently been made into a Broadway Musical.
