THE COMMITMENTS - FOMO Music Film Fest

Sunday 1. March at 16:30 - 18:30

FOMO Secret Cinema, Tbilisi

Alan Parker | 1991 | Ireland | 118mins | English language with English subtitles

THE COMMITMENTS is presented as part of the week-long Music Film Fest at FOMO Secret Cinema, Tbilisi.

THE COMMITMENTS follows a group of working-class Dubliners who form a soul band inspired by American rhythm and blues. Managed by an ambitious young promoter, they rehearse in cramped flats and dream of bringing Motown energy to Ireland.

The soundtrack reintroduced classic soul to new audiences in the 1990s. The performances feel raw and communal. The film shows how music travels across borders and social classes, how American soul could find a new home in Dublin.

It is also a sharp portrait of ego, ambition and group dynamics. Bands form quickly and fall apart just as fast. What remains is the music itself. The film captures that fragile, chaotic magic of people trying to sound bigger than their circumstances.

Location: FOMO Secret Cinema, Bazari Orbeliani, Tbilisi. A five minute walk from Liberty Square metro.

How to find FOMO: Enter the Bazari via Atoneli St above Carrefour and take the stairs on your left as soon as you enter next to the karaoke booth. FOMO is one flight up. Video instructions here: https://www.instagram.com/stories/highlights/17933106294029235
