An Introduction from the Festival Director-
Following the success of last year’s silent film festival, the Killruddery Film Festival is set to return this coming March. This year’s festival will see the return of celebrated film historian Kevin Brownlow who will be present for the festival and is currently selecting what should be another unmissable selection of rarely seen classics from the silent period. The programme for the forthcoming festival looks to expand upon the success of last year’s event with the addition this year of a second programme of more contemporary titles. The subtitle for 2010’s festival is ‘celebrating lost, overlooked and forgotten cinema’ and with this second strand the festival has invited a small number of very special guests to select and introduce a favourite film that for one reason or another never managed to reach the audience it deserved.
The programme for this year’s festival will be expanding to include almost twice as many film screenings as last year. In addition to the film events there will be also several talks and illustrated lectures delivered by guests of the festival throughout the weekend. There will also be a café, reading room/library and festival bar available to patrons of the festival. An added focus this year will be on the grounds of Killruddery itself with a number of site-specific film screenings being co-ordinated this year with the help of our festival partners, the Mermaid Arts Centre.
This year’s festival looks set to be another unique and unmissable event, a celebration of film shedding necessary light on aspects of film culture that might otherwise be overlooked. Please subscribe to our mailing list for regular updates.
