This year the annual NSU Irish Film Festival will be held virtually in November.  Attendees will be able to view the movies at their own pace and later join the professor and special guests on Zoom for Talkback sessions on each film. An opening session will be held on Thursday, November 5th where details on how to view the movies will be explained.

This festival is sponsored by the Alvin Sherman Library, NSU Center for the Humanities and the South Florida Irish Studies Consortium and is free and open to the public.
