Oscar nominee Jessie Buckley will attend a special screening of her latest film Women Talking at the Stella Cinema in Rathmines, Dublin this afternoon to raise funds for the Matt Talbot Community Trust.
The 4:30pm screening will be followed by a Q&A and conversation with Buckley, fellow actor Mark O'Halloran and some of the Matt Talbot Community Trust participants.
Buckley is an ambassador for the Matt Talbot Community Trust, a drug-free community education programme working to create change at a grassroots level in Ballyfermot.
All proceeds from the screening will go to the Trust.
Adapted from the Miriam Toews bestseller of the same name, Women Talking tells the story of members of a religious colony as they debate their next move after discovering that they have been drugged and raped.
Buckley plays one of the women, Mariche.
The writer-director of the acclaimed film, Sarah Polley, won the Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay at the Oscars in March.
