Well the day's finally here, 'Street Leagues' will be in Irish cinemas from tomorrow. All cinema listings and links to buy tickets are now up here: https://bankhouseproductions.com/street-leagues-cinemas/

Our Dublin showings have been pushed to mid-October because of the new restrictions there but the movie will be playing from tomorrow in Belfast, Cork, Dundalk, Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Tralee, Wexford & Ballincollig.

100% of our box office profits from this release are being donated to the Irish Homeless Street Leagues, an organisation that has produced countless success stories that really need to be seen to be believed. Few communities have been hit as hard these past 6 months as the homeless & the groups who help them so if you’ve ever thought about how you can help in a big way that actually works AND you want a good reason to get out of the house, your support at a showing would go a long way.

All screenings also open with the great award-winning short film "Warm For Winter" about the work of Paddy Fryar and his efforts to provide winter coats for the homeless in Dublin.

We hope you enjoy the film and we thank you for your support!

We will be donating 100% of our box office profits to the Street Leagues so every ticket bought is a direct contribution to helping them transform many more lives in the future. We are also delighted to have every screening open with the award-winning short film ‘Warm For Winter’.

Any help in getting the word out would be really appreciated - Head over to bankhouseproductions.com/street-leagues/ for more information and to be notified later this week when tickets go on sale for all locations.
