Housewife of the Year - Members' Screening



IFTA MEMBERS' SCREENING

MONDAY 11th NOVEMBER

Housewife of the Year tells the story of Ireland’s treatment of women through the prism of a unique, surreal, live televised competition, that has to be seen to be believed, where a generation of Irish women competed in front of a live audience for the title of ‘Housewife of the Year’.

The former contestants share their direct experiences of marriage bars, lack of contraception, magdalene laundries, financial vulnerability, boredom and shame and of course, of being contestants in the competition. It is a poignant, often hilarious, uplifting story of a resilient generation of women and how they changed a country.

 

Winner - Best Irish Feature Documentary, Galway Film Fleadh 2024

 

In Irish cinemas from 22nd November
