Moate lady stars in new Irish film

Described in one review as 'an Irish film about Irish women and the hold they have on their Irish men' His & Hers will hit the screens on June 18th and amongst those taking part is Moate lady Nessa Robins, from Ballinagarby. The blurb tell us "A man loves his girlfriend the most, his wife the best, but his mother the longest." Old Irish Proverb. From kitchens, living rooms, and hallways across the Irish midlands, His & Hers delightfully combines observation and charm to tell a 90-year-old love story through the voices of 70 women. This intimate gender and cultural snapshot explores a woman's relationships with the men in her life-father, boyfriend, husband, son. Following sequentially from little girl to old woman, each character portrait is woven with the others into one perfectly crafted cinematic quilt. His & Hers is an enchanting and affectionate appreciation for woman in all her versatility. Award-winning short film director Ken Wardrop (Undressing My Mother, The Herd) has applied his signature style, marking an accomplished feature debut. His & Hers won the Audience award in the Dublin International Film Festival, The Feature Award in the Galway Film Fleadh, an IFTA for Best Feature Documentary and the Cinematography Award at the Sundance Film Festival 2010. Nessa described the experience as most enjoyable and is looking forward to hearing the reaction after the film reaches a general audience. The IMC in Athlone is one of the cinemas that will be showing the film from June 18th.
