On Wednesday, 11 November, a special screening of Ebenezer took place at the Savoy Cinema on O’Connell Street, Dublin.
Eko talents and members of the management team joined the occasion for a special evening filled with early Christmas spirit.
With Christmas carols playing, warming mulled wine and traditional mince pies on offer, the event brought together all the familiar sounds and flavours of the festive season. It was a lovely opportunity to enjoy a film while getting into the Christmas spirit a little earlier this year.
About the Film
Directed by Ti West, Ebenezer offers a fresh take on Charles Dickens’ much-loved classic, A Christmas Carol.
Johnny Depp stars as Ebenezer Scrooge, the famously cold-hearted and wealthy businessman. On Christmas Eve, his world takes an unexpected turn when he is visited by supernatural spirits, taking him on a journey through his past, present and future. Through these encounters, Scrooge is forced to confront his choices and question whether he can change the person he has become.
The film also features an impressive cast, including Rupert Grint, Andrea Riseborough, Sam Claflin, Daisy Ridley and Ian McKellen.
Inside the Screening
The special screening at the Savoy Cinema was the perfect way to kick off the Christmas season.
Guests arrived dressed for the occasion, adding to the evening’s lively and elegant atmosphere. With Christmas carols playing in the background, guests could enjoy mulled wine and mince pies, creating a warm and welcoming setting filled with festive cheer.

Beyond the film itself, the event offered a chance for guests to come together, share the excitement of the season and enjoy a memorable evening at one of Dublin’s best-known cinemas.
The evening began with all the excitement and warmth of Christmas, but the story soon drew audiences into a world of ghosts and supernatural encounters. What initially feels like a classic ghost story gradually unfolds into a moving tale that explores wealth, love, life and human nature.
Through his journey with the spirits, we see how Ebenezer changes and begins to reflect on the person he has become. It is a meaningful story that may also encourage audiences to look at their own lives from a different perspective.
It was a special evening at the Savoy Cinema, bringing together the magic of cinema and the festive atmosphere of the season.
