Irish Film & Television Academy are delighted to host a special IFTA Viewing season screening of Mom and Me, on Thursday 10th March at 6.30pm at the Light House Cinema

Mom and Me is a creative documentary that delicately challenges the familiar love story shared between a son and his mother. It is a story that reveals comedy in the everyday and misery on some other days.
