＜STORY＞
“City of a Thousand Suns” is an immersive cinematic pilgrimage. Part poem and part elegy, it forges connections between two distant cities, Dublin and Hiroshima. Drawing on a rich legacy of world cinema, it dives into our collective memory and shines a light on the trauma we all share as descendants of the atomic age.
