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, now in its eighth year, was the brainchild of Professor David Kilroy, a native of Ireland and a faculty member in the College of Arts, Humanities and Social 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 include three films. The first screening is on November 9th and the series ends on November 15th.
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 Alvin Sherman Library, 954-262-5477.
