If he is to find her, Asger will have to have both his resolve, and his arrogance, tested in a race against time. This is the claustrophobic Danish thriller The Guilty which the Galway Film Society will screen at the Pálás Cinema on Sunday March 24 and Monday 25 at 6.30pm.
A unique feature of the film is its use of sound as its primary storytelling tool. It won the World Cinema Audience Award at the 2018 Sundance festival, and the Audience Award and the Youth Jury Award at the 2018 International Film Festival Rotterdam.

Trying to escape her broken past, Sarah O’Neill (Seána Kerslake) is building a new life on the fringes of a backwood rural town with her young son Chris (James Quinn Markey). A terrifying encounter with a mysterious neighbour shatters her fragile security, throwing Sarah into a spiralling nightmare of paranoia and mistrust, as she tries to uncover if the disturbing changes in her little boy are connected to an ominous sinkhole buried deep in the forest that borders their home.
Galway City of Film are delighted to support this screening, taking place at Pálás on Friday March 1st at 6.15pm.
What will certainly be a terrifying first look at this new Irish horror will be accompanied by a Q&A with director Lee Cronin.
