Cork International Film Festival St Patrick's Festival

In celebration of St. Patrick’s Festival, CIFF is presenting a free online programme featuring two films - one Irish short and one international feature. As our nation comes together in celebration, we’ve curated a programme that offers alternative angles on the notions of national identity. Discover or rediscover the Irish gem Room Taken, which premiered at CIFF2023, and hear from director TJ O’Grady-Peyton as he reflects on his experience with the film, its awards run (IFTA, Oscars®…), and the importance of a country being a welcoming nation. Adding an early summery vibe to the mix, enjoy Guillaume Brac’s joyful two-part film July Tales, Four boys, four girls, all from different countries. Beyond spending Bastille Day in Paris together, what do they have in common? Both films screen together in one programme and are available to watch from Friday, March 15th at 10am – Monday, March 17th at 11:59pm.
