Belfast Film Festival Celebrates 10 Years
The Belfast Film Festival celebrates its 10th birthday this year and in order to mark the milestone the festival will run over 16 days from 15th–30th April.
The 10th film festival boasts over 30 UK/Irish premieres in a jam packed programme, with 125 screenings and events across Belfast from over 25 countries including, Russia, Japan, Iran, Argentina, Israel and South Africa.
The festival opens next month on Thursday 15th April at the Moviehouse, Dublin Road with the UK/Irish Premiere of Triage, starring man of the moment Colin Farrell as eighties war photographer Mark Walsh.
It will also include a two day seminar in the Queens Film Theatre (QFT) called Northern Exposure = Deal Closure, which will see key London industry figures hosting a series of four industry-focused panel sessions and discussion groups.
Also on the agenda is an event by the Same Sex Cinema strand at the QFT who will be screening The Untouchable Girls - the new film from New Zealand's Lesbian comedy duo Topp Twins.
Hotly tipped first time Writer/Director Xavier Dolan's directorial debut, I Killed My Mother will also be featured and Belfast’s coolest new bar, Slide in Ann Street, will host all the after parties for the Same Sex films.
The closing night film will be the UK/Ireland premiere of a film by one of Hollywood’s greatest Directors, Francis Ford Coppola. Tetro, starring Vincent Gallo, is set in Buenos Aires and is a beautiful film not to be missed.
