Jimmy’s Hall: a blueprint for community resilience in these times?

For host Gareth Evans the reason for this screening in this place, at this time is obvious: Jimmy’s Hall is as much about the Hall – gathering space for a rural community struggling 10 years after the Irish Civil War against the church, state and boredom – as about Jimmy Gralton, the only Irishman to be exiled from the country (Irish President Michael Higgins apologised in 2016). It’s uncommon for a film to focus on a building – which is why it pairs well with The Brutalist – and by bringing this film to a community cinema in a community building, Evans as curator deftly remind us of cinema’s original power, like theatre, stories around campfire: the gathering of a group of strangers to share in something. It was such a welcome and needed reminder.
