International Film Festival, Dublin

Basically this is a list of the films I will be volunteering and helping out for, if you have time and money come visit me at either the Savoy, Lighthouse, or Screen 1 in Dublin. If there are any certain genres or certain country based films you are curious to learn about, being shown at the festival, don't hesitate to make a comment. I will happily give you the details!

Preludio

Screen 1 Saturday 26 2:00 PM

Director Eduardo Lucatero

The film consits of one fluid, unbroken shot lasting the entire

length of the film and is a boy-meets-girl 

story wherein he and she remain nameless.

The breathtaking account is wonderfully void of any of the cinematic 

cliches usually spotted in romantic comedies

How I Ended This Summer

Screen 1, Saturday 26 4:00 PM
