Whackala’s revolutionaries have just done a little tour of Ireland, sreening in Galway, Dublin and Belfast as part of the Latin America Week, organised by Lasc.
Paul and Leticia were able to attend the screenings in Dublin and at the historic and stunning Northern Ireland Parliament building at Stormont, Belfast. They were both great events, really well attended and with very passionate audiences! In Belfast, there was a large Latin American contingent in the audience and it was great to hear them laugh and react at the little gestures and expressions from the subjects featured in the film.
The filmmakers are delighted at the film’s great reception and at the audience’s reaction to it and engagement with the issues, stories and people featured in the documentary -what is a filmmaker without an audience’s reaction???
Here’s a selection of pictures from both events. In Dublin it was held at the Irish Aid Centre.
There’s more info on the events’ organisers and more pictures at the After the Revolution site.
Pues sí, comadres y compadres, ¡que viva la revolución!

We’re delighted that Forty Foot keeps going from place to place. This March, it’s showing at the Chicago Irish Film Festival, where every year, they screen a few hand-picked few -oh yes!- to have come out of Ireland in the previous year as well as some great classics and accompanying events. It all happens at the Beverly Arts Center from the 5 to the 10th of March.
At the same time, it will also be showing at the 28th edition of the Bergamo Film Meeting in Northern Italy, this beauty of a place that you see in the photo -if only we could go with it too, but there’s too much to do at Whackala and too little time. For more info on both festivals check out the Forty Foot site.
After the Revolution will also be showing at this year’s edition of the Irish Latin American Film Festival in April organised by LASC, the Latin American Solidarity Centre in Dublin. More news on that to come.
