Neneh Superstar

The Dock presents Neneh Superstar (Director: Ramzi Ben Sliman, France 2022, 95 mins) in association with IFI Schools. The accompanying Study Guide is available at ifi.ie/studyguides.

Neneh loves to dance and perform, and fulfils her dreams of joining the prestigious Paris Opera Ballet School, despite her parents’ concerns that it’s not a welcoming place for a young Black girl. She gets through the auditions but at the school, Neneh finds herself at odds with the traditionalist school director Marianne, who singles her out, making her feel on the outside. Despite the barriers, Neneh’s bubbling energy endures in this charming film which is a celebration of talent and perseverance in the face of prejudice.

Tickets are €5 (teachers go free), suitable for students aged 12+. To book, email thedockboxoffice@gmail.com or call the Box Office on 071 965 0828.
