Irish Film Festival, Opens Nov. 4

The Alvin Sherman Library and the College of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences will sponsor an Irish Film Festival that allows a South Florida audience to see independent contemporary Irish films not widely released in the U.S. The Festival was the brainchild of Professor David Kilroy, a native of Ireland and a faculty member in the college of Arts, Humanities and Sciences. Working with the Irish Film Institute in Dublin, Professor Kilroy has been able to secure a wide array of films over the years, from cutting edge dramas to hard-nosed documentaries, representing the work of some of Ireland’s most exciting filmmakers.

This year’s lineup includes two documentaries and one feature length film. The Festival opens on November 4th with the music documentary Lomax in Éirinn.  The film explores the influence of American musicologist Alan Lomax and his 1951 visit to Ireland.

On November 6th , I-Dolours, will be screened, a gripping documentary that chronicles the story of one of the first female leaders in the IRA, Dolours Price. The Festival concludes on November 10th with The Drummer and the Keeper, which tells the story of a friendship between the drummer of a rock band and a teen with Asperger’s syndrome.

The Irish Film Festival is co-sponsored by the South Florida Irish Studies Consortium. It is free and open to the public. For more information, contact David Kilroy at dkilroy@nova.edu or Kimberli Kidd at kkidd@nova.edu.
