BATH — Dreamland Theater at the Winter Street Center will show films with an Irish theme in March.
Dreamland will screen “My Left Foot” on Thursday and “The Secret of Roan Inish” on March 22.
“My Left Foot,” starring Daniel Day Lewis, tells the true story of Christy Brown, who was born with cerebral palsy into a poor, workingclass Irish family.
“Able only to control movement in his left foot and to speak in guttural sounds, he is mistakenly believed to be mentally disabled for the first 10 years of his life,” a Dreamland Theater release states. “Later, through the help of his strong-willed mother, a dedicated teacher, and his own courage and determination, Christy not only learns to grapple with life’s simple physical tasks and complex psychological pains, but he also develops into a brilliant painter, poet and author.”
Prior to the movie, Now You’re Cooking, at 49 Front St., will host a beer tasting from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.
Dreamland is a film series presented on the second and fourth Thursday of each month from September through May at the Winter Street Center, 880 Washington St.
Shorts, serials and cartoons start at 6 p. m. The feature film starts at 7 p.m.
The suggested donation is $5. Soft drinks, popcorn and candies are available at $ 1 each.
The entire 2011-2012 schedule for Dreamland Theater can be found at www.sagadahocpreservation.org and on the Dreamland Theater Facebook page.
