Mar chuid de shraith scannán idirnáisiunta atá á eagrú ag an CSLC taispeánfar an scannán Poitín ar a 7pm ar an Déardaoin 19 Samhain 2009 i Seomra 329 DeBartolo.
Ba é Bob Quinn (Cinegael) a stiúraigh an scannán (a bhí bunaithe ar ghearrscéal le Colm Bairéad) in 1978 leis na haisteoirí iomráiteacha Cyril Cusack, Niall Tóibín, Dónal McCann agus Mick Lally. Ba é seo an chéad phríomhscannán a eisíodh i nGaeilge agus chothaigh sé conspóid nuair a craoladh i dtosach é ar an teilifís ar Lá ‘le Pádraig 1979. An leagan athmháistrithe digiteach (2007), le fuaimrian nuachumtha ag Bill Whelan, a bheidh á thaispeaint maraon le cuid d’agallamh a chuir Pádraic Breathnach ar Bob Quinn ar an gclár ‘The Eleventh Hour’.
Scéal, suite i gConamara, faoi sheanleaid Michil a bhíonn ag dríogadh biotáille go mídhleathach agus an chaoi a n-éiríonn leis féin agus lena iníon Máire an lámh in uachtar a fháil ar bheirt bhithiúnach, Sleamhnán agus Labhrás. Ar ndóigh cuireann an Garda Síochána a ladhar isteach sa scéal chomh maith.
Tá fáilte roimh chách, idir mhic léinn agus ollúna, agus beidh deis ag an lucht féachana an scannán a phlé ina dhiaidh. Cuirfear soláistí ar fail.

As part of a series of foreign language films being organized by the CSLC (Center for the Study of Languages and Culture) the Irish language film Poitín will be shown on Thursday, November 19 2009 at 7pm in Room 329, Edward J. DeBartolo Hall.
The film was directed by Bob Quinn (Cinegael) in 1978 and stars some of Ireland’s greatest actors Cyril Cusack (Michil), Niall Tóibín (Sleamhnán), Dónal McCann (Labhrás) and Mick Lally (Garda Sergeant) as well as a supporting cast of well-known Connemara actors. This was the first feature film to be released in the Irish language and it was broadcast on television on St. Patrick’s Day in 1979, amidst some controversy. The digitally remastered version (2007), with a newly composed soundtrack by Bill Whelan (of Riverdance fame), will be screened with subtitles in English.
There will be a short discussion about the film afterwards and light refreshments will be served
