Prepare to enter the magical world of science. Forget Harry Potter, Donal is the real wizard. Join him as he does the impossible; skewer a balloon without popping it, set paper on fire without burning it, turn water upside-down without spilling it, move an object without touching it. And even conjure dragon’ s breath!
Always exciting, sometimes messy, get excited about science and laugh your pants off while you do.
And the best part? You can do all the tricks at home using everyday household items. You too can become a science wizard and amaze your family and friends.
“ His hilarious and informative takes on science are why he’ s a favourite.” Bright Club Dublin

Dir. fergal Ward, ireland 2017, 85 min
For years, the farmer Thomas Reid has been locked in a gruelling battle with his neighbour, U. S. microchip manufacturer Intel. The multinational wants to expand and has its eye on Reid’ s land. Eager to boost employment in the region, the Irish authorities are doing their utmost to force Reid into a sale.
But the farmer has no intention of leaving his 300-year-old ancestral home, where he lives alone, surrounded by cows and chickens. His house is crammed with hoarded junk and he appears to live in chaos. Nevertheless, Fergal Ward’ s documentary shows this tenacious eccentric to be a formidable opponent of the system.
The film’ s co-writer will attend and speak about the film after the screening. page 19
