Sixteen/16 Ans french language film is set to be on screens at The Dock

As part of The Dock’s ongoing commitment to providing access to students and schools, the 2023 French language film 16 Ans will be presented at the theatre on Monday, November 27, at 10am.

This star-crossed romance is the Carrick-on-Shannon’s arts centre’s Senior Cycle French film choice for this year.

Classmates Nora and Leo fall in love at school, but their relationship faces intense opposition from their parents and family.

Despite the different familial backgrounds and beliefs, the pair continue their romance undercover.

This contemporary retelling of Romeo and Juliet, focusing on opposing religious beliefs rather than duelling families, is a gripping and engaging film for older teens.

This screening is presented during Think Languages Week in association with IFI Education, supporting film in school curricula, and promoting film literacy for children and young people.

The accompanying Study Guide is available via The Irish Film Institute for students or teachers who plan to attend.

Bookings for this film are to be made directly via The Dock’s box office by calling 071 96 50 828.

This presentation is ideal for secondary school groups.
