I know Where I’m Going Cinema Screening

15/12/2023
Taigh Chearsabhagh

Ann an I Know Where I’m Going! chì sinn bàn-Shasannach òg, rag, a’ togail oirre. Tha i air gealladh pòsaidh a thoirt do dh’fhear beairteach, nas sine na i, agus tha i a’ falbh, cinnteach gu bheil i gus a phòsadh air an eilean iomallach aige ann an Innse Gall. Ach le droch shìde gan cumail o chèile air diofar eileanan, a’ cur bacadh air na planaichean aice, tha bean na bainnse a’ tòiseachadh ri h-inntinn atharrachadh.

Clàraichte ann am pàirt air eilean Mhuile, le seallaidhean air dol tarsainn Coire Bhreacainn, tha gaol, uirsgeul, cultar traidiseanta agus comadaidh an lùib an sàr obair romansach seo.

Air a stiùireadh le Mìchael Powell agus Emeric Pressburger ann an 1945, tha I Know Where I’m Going! na fhìor chlasaig. ’S urrainn dhuibh barrachd a leughadh mun obair air cùlaibh am film, an seo: I Know Where I’m Going! screening notes
