The IFI Irish Film Institute is pleased to present a selection of films made in Ireland by German filmmaker Margit Wagner between 1959 and 1975.
This programme of films, curated with Prof Gisela Holfter of University of Limerick, has been made possible thanks to the generous support of Culture Ireland. This special screening event, marking Limerick’s official pairing with Germany for the Irish EU Presidency 2026, begins with an introduction to Margit Wagner featuring extracts and a discussion with Prof. Albrecht Wagner (son of Margit Wagner), followed by a programme of her films: Abenteuer des Helfens (The Adventure of Helping) and Auf die Flut warten (Waiting for the Tide).
The evening continues with excerpts from Irland – Lieder für Träumer, Musik für Rebellen (Songs for Dreamers, Music for Rebels) and a full screening of Mr Garech’s Koch (Mr Garech’s Cook), offering a rich portrait of social, cultural, and artistic life across Ireland and Germany.
