Film Screening: Na Trí Céilithe (The Three Concerts)

​Join us for a screening of Na Trí Céilithe (The Three Concerts), a short dance film that blends memory and movement to reimagine the vibrant Gaelic concerts held by Melbourne’s Irish diaspora in the early twentieth century. In the absence of archival footage, the film takes a bold leap – reinterpreting céilí dances through a contemporary lens to explore how tradition can live and breathe in the present.

Afterwards, hear from a panel of creatives and cultural scholars – dance artist Rhys Ryan, multi-instrumentalist and composer Dr Matthew Horsley and dance scholar Dr Jeanette Mollenhauer – as they unpack the film’s creative process, its dialogue between heritage and innovation, and the power of dance and music to evoke collective memory.

Perfect for lovers of film, Irish dance, and stories that connect past and present!
