Free Film Screening: Verdigris
November 16 @ 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm
Free Screening of “Verdigris” on November 16
Straight from being the opening film at the Chicago International Film Festival, “Verdigris” comes to the Irish American Heritage Center for a free screening as part of iBAM! 20204.
About Verdigris:
Trapped in a marriage with a controlling husband, middle-aged, middle-class Marian takes on a secret part-time job as a census enumerator. The job is no picnic. On her tough inner-city route, she faces dismissive and abusive locals who flatly refuse to engage in the census. This includes brash and no-nonsense teenager Jewel, who Marian soon realizes is living alone with no obvious means of supporting herself.
Marian finds herself striking a deal with Jewel – she won’t report her to the authorities if Jewel helps her get the locals to fill out their census forms. As they walk the streets of Dublin, an unlikely friendship blooms.
This free screening of Verdigris is presented in partnership with the Irish Film Institute and Culture Ireland.
