7 pm: Fréwaka
(Ireland, 103 mins, in Irish with French subtitles)
Director: Aislinn Clarke
Cast: Clare Monnelly, Bríd Ní Neachtain, Aleksandra Bystrzhitskaya
One of the first ever Irish-language horror films, Fréwaka draws inspiration from traditional mythology. Haunted by a personal tragedy, home care worker Shoo (Clare Monnelly) is sent to a remote village to care for an agoraphobic woman (Bríd Ní Neachtain) who fears the neighbours as much as she fears the Na Sídhe – sinister entities who she believes abducted her decades before. As the two develop a strangely deep connection, Shoo is consumed by the old woman’s paranoia, rituals, and superstitions, eventually confronting the horrors from her own past.
