	Baineann James agus a athair Michael feidhm as an nGaeilge mar theanga rúnda dá ngnó spi-aireachta. Ní féidir leo an rún a scéith le máthair James faoi cad tá ar bun acu. Ach i gceann tamaill beidh an scéal go léir amuigh, agus ní bheidh an saol mar an gcéanna riamh arís… James and his dad Michael use Irish as a secret language to discuss their secret spy business. They must never let James' mum know about their covert missions. But soon everything will be thrown into the open and life will never be the same again...
	Saoirse? (Irish with English subtitles)
	Saoirse? An dara scannán stairiúil a rinne Gael Linn faoin gcaoi ar baineadh féin rialtas amach in Éirinn. Tosaíonn an scannán le bunú Dháil Éireann sa bhliain 1919. Léirítear ansin an choimhlint armtha agus agóid phobail a bhí forleathan sna blianta 1919-20. Feictear nuachtscannáin den sos cogaidh, den chonradh síochána á shíniú i 1921 agus de bhunú Saorstát Éireann. Feictear Éamon de Valéra agus Micheál Ó Coileáin agus iad i mbun toghchánaíochta. Tús an chogaidh chathartha ar láthair na nCeithre Cúirteanna i mBaile Átha Cliath an chríoch thragóideach atá le SAOIRSE?. George Morrison a stiúraigh Saoirse? agus cuireadh an scannán ar taispeáint den chéad uair  i 1961. Cuireadh na múrtha fáilte roimhe agus bhí iomrá ach go háirithe ar an cheol le Seán Ó Riada. The Gael Linn film Saoirse? (Freedom?) depicts the Irish struggle for independence in the years 1919 to 1922 – as recoreded by the newsfilm camera operators of the time – and the part played in the policital events of those years by leaders, on all sides, such as Éamon de Valéra, Arthur Griffith, Michael Collins, Cathal Brugha, Richard Mulcahy, Tomás MacCurtain, Terence MacSwiney, Sir James Craig, King George V, David Lloyd George, Lord Birkenhead and Winston Churchill. Directed by George Morrison, the film went on release in 1961 to great acclaim, the music score by Seán Ó Riada proving particularly popular

Fee for the day is $20 for I.A.C. members / $25 for non-members.
