After a very successful in-person launch in Galway City last week, plans are underway for an online launch of Mary Tynan’s short film, ‘Na Doirse,’ in Xanadu Online Theatre. The Galway City premiere was hosted in Gaelscoil Mhic Amhlaigh by Mícheál Ó Mainín and Gaeilge ABC, with Barbara Nic Donncha interviewing both Mary and filmmaker Seán Breathnach directly after the screening. The event got a lot of press coverage beforehand, and was featured on Nuacht TG4 the following evening.
Mary is the founder and artistic director of Notes from Xanadu – the online arts centre – and Xanadu Online Theatre. Whilst the in-person premiere was 100% through Irish, as befits an Irish language film, the online launch will be bilingual, in order to include all the people who supported both the arts centre and the theatre during lockdown.

Tar éis premiere an-rathúil i gCathair na Gaillimhe an tseachtain seo caite, tá pleananna ar siúl chun gearrscannán Mary Tynan, ‘Na Doirse,’ a sheoladh ar líne i Xanadu Online Theatre. Ba iad Mícheál Ó Mainín agus Gaeilge ABC a bhí ina n-óstaigh ar an premiere i nGaelscoil Mhic Amhlaigh i gCathair na Gaillimhe, agus chuir Barbara Nic Donncha Mary agus an scannánóir Seán Breathnach faoir agallamh i ndiaidh an léirithe. Fuair an ócáid go leor clúdach preasa roimh ré, agus bhí sé le feiceáil ar Nuacht TG4 an tráthnóna dár gcionn.
Is bunaitheoir agus stiúrthóir ealaíne Notes from Xanadu – the online arts centre – agus Xanadu Online Theatre í Mary. Cé go raibh an chéad taibhléiriú poiblí 100% as Ghaeilge, mar a oireann do scannán Gaeilge, beidh an seoladh ar líne dátheangach, chun na daoine ar fad a thacaigh leis an ionad ealaíne agus leis an amharclann le linn an dianghlasála a chur san áireamh. Tá naisc chuig clúdach preasa éagsúla thíos.
