Don’t Miss Annual Culture Night Screening of Award-Winning IFB Short Films

Posted: 21st September 2017

Bord Scannán na hÉireann/the Irish Film Board (IFB) is delighted to once again participate in the official programme for Culture Night 2017 with a selection of Irish short films screening in two Dublin locations—for the first time—on 22 September. From 9pm – 10pm, the shorts will screen in Bardardo Square and then at 10pm, they will be presented in Meeting House Square.

The line-up will include new, and not so new, award-winning and critically acclaimed home-grown Irish animation. Both screenings are open to the public and are free of charge to attend.

This year’s shorts programme includes:
