Christy

From director Brendan Canty (making his feature debut), Christy is a deeply moving coming-of-age drama set in Cork. When seventeen-year-old Christy (Danny Power) is suddenly thrown out of foster care, he moves in with his estranged half-brother Shane (Diarmuid Noyes) and his young family. What begins as a tense, awkward arrangement slowly becomes a story of reconciliation, belonging, and resilience. Set against the rich, gritty backdrop of Knocknaheeny, this award-winning film—recipient of the Grand Prix at Berlinale’s Generation 14plus and Best Irish Film at Galway Film Fleadh—brings social realism and lyrical warmth to Irish cinema.
