Thursday 24 September – 6pm
Live on Zoom 
Join
us on Zoom
every last Thursday of
the month for a special
free screening of one of our favourite recent films.
We'll start with a few words and then stream the film directly
on Zoom
through screenshare.
It will
be just like old times – except we won't
be able
to offer you that glass of wine!
For
this 4th online edition, we have selected the heartwarming French comedy drama
film Les
Souvenirs (Memories, 2014) directed
by Jean-Paul Rouve and
adapted from the bestselling novel by David Foenkino.
It
was celebrated for the strong performances by a seasoned ensemble cast
featuring the legendary Annie Cordy (who
sadly passed away this month), Michel
Blanc, and Chantal
Lauby.

How do
you go about translating
Irish novelist, memoirist, playwright, poet and short story writer Edna O'Brien's
award-winning literature?
In
celebration of the 2020 European Day of Languages,
the Trinity
Centre for Literary and Cultural Translation is teaming up
with EUNIC (EU National
Institutes for Culture in Ireland that include Alliance
Française Dublin, Ambassade
de France, Goethe Institut, Cervantes
Instituto & Istituto Italiano di Cultura), to
discuss how some of Ireland's greatest
literature is made available in different languages.
Translators
of Edna O'Brien's
most recent novel, Girl, into French, German, Italian, and Spanish will discuss
the challenges of translating this novel. We will also hear from Edna
O'Brien herself, who will tell us what it is like for her
to see her work translated.
