“Under my screen”, the British and Irish film festival, is back for a 15th edition

The festival resumed this Saturday, November 23, and continues until December 1. This year, “Under my screen” is growing by renewing its presence in Corte, and by opening up to schools in Propriano.

A fifteenth edition for the “Under my screen” festival, which invites a return to basics, with the Highlands as the setting for these crystal weddings.

Favorite, unmissable: The Outrun… A young woman steeped in addiction who finds hope by confronting violent storms and the icy sea of ​​the Orkney Islands in Scotland.

Certain gems presented during the festival will never be broadcast in France. Because it’s a first: the festival has 10 new films among the 19 on show.

The subject of Caroline Ferrer, Franck Rombaldi and Anastasia Mordin:

Another favorite: Kneecap, or the extraordinary story of young Irish rappers, who became the improbable figureheads of a civic movement aiming to save Gaelic.

“For me, it’s a film that is transcendent because we are going to have a group of young people who want to defend their mother tongue, Gaelic, who are going to set up a group and defend it in a city of Belfast whose problems we know, explains Jean-Paul Filippini, president of the Under my screen festival. And it’s very enriching to see young people take a language and want to defend it.”

Films to discover from November 23 to December 1 in Ajaccio at the Ellipse, Laetitia, and the Palais des Congrès. But also in Corte, and even – it’s again – in Propriano for schools.
