A taster...

The programme is now online and the brochure will be on the streets next week. While you wait to get your mits on a physical programme, here's a sneaky peek of two treats in store over the festival.

The Secret of Kells is a stunning animation about how the Book of Kells was completed and survived to become one of Ireland’s national treasures. The film has won several awards and an Oscar nomination for its animation which is nearly as beautiful as the book itself.

A Film About Poo is a lovely little film that will be screened in the Colour Box Shorts programme and is all about....erm...The catchy song has got into all of our heads, and I will certainly be humming it to myself all day! The shorts programme will also feature a screening of The Brothers McLeod's beautiful new film Moonbird as well as other super and silly shorts including birthday cake, a sleepy cat and Rapunzel.
