The DC Gaels are proud supporters of the 2026 Capital Irish Film Festival! In partnership with , the film we are underwriting is HORSESHOE, showing at 7:30pm, February 28th, at the AFI Silver.

Blending razor-sharp dialogue with raw emotional depth, this comedy-drama follows four estranged siblings as they return to their crumbling family home in the West of Ireland after the death of their father. Once reunited, the family attempts to navigate inheritance, grief, and long-buried grudges. Their time together unearths far more than expected—including secrets that just might shatter what little bond remains between them.

You can book your tickets at the following link, which is also LinkedIn in our bio!
