Ireland is a land of story tellers. It is renowned for its rich literary tradition and native love of a good tale. Over the past 25 to 30 years, film making in Ireland has grown from a cottage industry to a full-fledged industry. This week on The Score, we're taking a look and a listen to the movies and music of contemporary films created by Irish talents. From 'The Banshees of Inishirin,' to the quirky horror of 'Abigail,' and the powerful social commentary of 'Aisha,' it’s a celebration of the burgeoning world of Irish cinema.

A FESTIVAL OF LIGHTS
As the days grow shorter and the nights grow longer we naturally experience a yearning for light. For millennia, we humans have brightened the dark winter time with lights of all kinds. Today on The Score it’s a look and a listen to the music of lights of the season, from the candles of Hannukah in An American Tail to the ugliest lamp ever in A Christmas Story, and the spectacular aurora borealis in The Golden Compass. Plus, we'll hear a special selection from the score for the film Aurora Borealis composed by Mychael Danna. You can get a preview of Danna's beautiful music celebrating this natural wonder at http://bit.ly/3VwRvz1

It’s a celebration of winter lights, today at 3:00 PM PT on The Score.
