Naomh Mairtin CPG hosted their OsKaRs event in association with Kevin Rowe Events, last Saturday night, the 4th November in the splendid Fairways Hotel Blackrock Suite and what an occasion it was.
7 movies were premiered after months of rehearsals, group fundraising events, and individual fundraising efforts. The preparation that went into the rehearsals was evident for all to see as the movies absolutely blew the crowd away.
The night was hosted by Joe Rooney (Fr Damo of Fr.Ted Fame) with judges Aisling O’Neill (Carol from Fair City), Al Foran (Blackstone Motors Ambassador and comedian) and local drama expert Ogie Harmon.
The movies that were premiered on the night were
- Derry Girls
- Michael Collins
- My Left Foot
- Saving Private Ryan
- The Snapper
- Shutter Island
