Music For Domes

A cosmic tug-of-war between Ireland and Cambodia unfolds in the world premiere of this immersive documentary, revealing how myth, memory, and music shape shared patterns of belief and grief across time and sky. 

Music for Domes is a documentary planetarium experience exploring the celestial echoes between two ancient nations, Cambodia and Ireland. Through sweeping journeys from Navan Fort to Angkor Wat, and from mythic skies to modern wounds, the film uncovers striking parallels in how these distant cultures interpret spirit worlds, survive trauma, and carve strength into art. 

Blending new and archival footage with an original score by award-winning Irish folk musician RÓIS, the film is both a sensory odyssey and a cosmic meditation. Mythological tricksters and colonial scars converge in this final chapter of Hosta Projects’ All Flesh is Grass trilogy, reminding us that even across continents, loss sounds the same, and the stars above can be carved like stone.

On Friday 20th June there will be a special McIvor’s Cider drinks reception which will start at 6:30pm ahead of the screening at 7.30pm. Bus transport from Belfast will also be available that evening. 

Tickets: £15 with return bus travel, £10 without bus.
