Irish Film Festival
Event Date: 03/09/2021, 07:00 pm
This year the festival will be online across Australia
In light of the uncertainty surrounding the current pandemic and to deliver our festival program in the safest way possible, we've decided to run this year’s festival online.
The 2021 program boasts seven Australian premieres, including Wildfire, Broken Law, Deadly Cuts, The Bright Side, Phil Lynott: Songs For While I'm Away, Áine Tyrell - Irish Troubadour and Finding Jack Charlton.
We're amplifying the voices of women, with films by female Directors: The Bright Side by Ruth Meehan, A Bump Along the Way by Shelly Love, Wildfire by Cathy Brady, Deadly Cuts by Rachel Carey and Phil Lynott - Songs For While I'm Away, directed by Emer Reynolds. Furthermore, there’s a strong focus on themes such as breast cancer and surviving male violence.
Festival award-winners include the stunning animation from Ireland’s Cartoon Saloon, Wolfwalkers, and Cathy Brady’s feature debut, Wildfire, for which she won Best Director at this year’s Irish Film & Television Awards (IFTAs), where Nika McGuigan was posthumously awarded Best Lead Actress.
Two exceptional documentaries explore a couple of Ireland’s greatest singer/songwriters:
Thin Lizzy frontman, Phil Lynott: Songs For While I'm Away, by Emmy-winning Director and multiple award-winning Editor Emer Reynolds (presented in partnership with Long Play Music Films); and Crock of Gold: A Few Rounds with Shane MacGowan, the cinematic exploration of MacGowan’s life and career by iconic music Director Julien Temple (The Filth & The Fury, The Great Rock & Roll Swindle).
Another festival must-see is the hilarious black comedy, Deadly Cuts, from up-and-coming Director Rachel Carey.
Audiences will also have exclusive behind-the-scenes access to films via our famous Q&A sessions with Dr Enda Murray and a selection of our films’ Directors and cast.
