Beat the post St Patricks Weekend blues with 4 amazing days of film at the 13th Dingle International Film Festival



Set in the beautiful picturesque surroundings of the Dingle Peninsula any festival or event would be worth checking out , but when that festival is a four day celebration of local, national and international film with a packed programme catering for all type of movie goers then there really is only one play to be next week and that's at the 13th Dingle International Film Festival.
Maurice Galway the founder/CEO and Artistic Director of the Dingle International Film Festival and his team have again created a strong upcoming programme that will contribute to make this boutique film festival in the south west of Ireland the ongoing success story that it continues to be.
From the opening gala on Thursday 21st March of Killarney native Jessie Buckleys Wild Rose to the closing film Grant Korgan's The Push on Sunday 24th March, An Daingean will simply be the cinematic hubub of the country and a festival that should not be missed!
Feature films, short films, fascinating Q&A's and lots more besides are all on the menu over the course of the four days of film programming. Short films such as the Oscar nominated Detainment as well as Brendan Gleeson directed Psychic just give some indication of the quality of short film on show this weekend.
The Sisters Brothers showing this weekend at DIFF 2019
Featuring actors such as John C. Reilly, Joaquin Phoenix and Jake Gyllenhaal on show in The Sisters Brothers on Saturday 23rd March and festival film scene favourites such as Float Like a Butterfly and When All is Ruin Once Again the feature film category of this festival more than holds its' own in a very strong programme.
With world renowned director such as Kirk Jones (Waking Ned Devine), an always compelling foreign film representation (in shorts and features) and the showcasing of local film in the Kingdom Shorts section of the festival on Sunday, Maurice Galway and co can once again hold their heads up high for producing a festival programming of exceptional quality and I would implore movie fans of all tastes to take the scenic route this week and enjoy not only the surroundings but a fantastic filled programme of what promises to be another quality Dingle International Film Festival.
A full list of upcoming events and further details can be seen on the Dingle International Film Festival 2019 website.
