Today sees the beginning of the19th year of the award winning Kerry Film Festival which has a crammed programme of quality features, shorts and events over the five days. Whilst I would encourage all film fans to travel to Killarney to experience the magic of such a prestigious event there are some simply unmissable films on show and I have put together a list of 5 such films. It is worth noting however that there is plenty of exceptional films on show aside of these 5 at the Kerry Film Festival and it's well worth checking out www.kerryfilmfestival.com for further details).
