We have a very special pick this December from our beloved staff member Emmy Shigeta. Sofia Coppola's Lost in Translation turns 20 this and we'll be celebrating this with a DJ set from Emmy in the Light House bar following a screening of this all time great.

"It's hard to believe that this film is 20 years old, it’s a really cool film and has become a classic. It’s also very much of its time. I love to see the fashion, language & choice of karaoke songs of the people living in Tokyo in the 2000s. It has an amazing soundtrack. Like many people in Japan I discovered My Bloody Valentine through this film and their music, as it does in this film, has given colour to my life. I feel a connection between Japan and Dublin through this film’s soundtrack which was comforting when I experienced community relations barriers and culture shock in Dublin.
It’s a very special movie and I’m super happy to be djing at its 20th birthday in the lighthouse!" - Emmy
