A new documentary film highlighting the unique community spirit of the Tenters housing scheme was screened outside in Oscar Square on Friday night.
Residents in the Dublin 8 housing estate gathered in the park to view the documentary created by the conservation section of Dublin City Council, with the support of the Creative Ireland Programme to mark the Fairbrother’s Fields housing scheme, now in its 100th year.
The film was screened every half hour on the square, in liaison with the Tenters’ Residents Association and Tenters 100, Dublin City Council.
Separately, Dublin City Council announced a new, free, ticketed, family-friendly event series, Outdoor Cinema Club, taking place in the city’s Meeting House Square every Sunday in September.
