Movie buffs from around the world will make their way to Dublin this February as the Jameson Dublin International Film Festival brings eleven days of cinema excellence to the Irish capital. From February 18-28, 2010, more than 120 films from the four corners of the globe will be screened throughout the Dublin City Centre Cinemas, at Cineworld, The Savoy, Screen, and the Irish Film Institute, as well as The Lighthouse Cinema in Smithfield and Movies@Dundrum. First hosted in 2003, the festival quickly established itself as Ireland's biggest cinema event of the year, welcoming an array of film talent ranging from John Sayles to Quentin Tarantino. Irish film talent is featured as well, with the Irish Talent Spotlight welcoming such local luminaries as writer/director Ken Wardrup, producer Margaret Harkin, and the animation company Cartoon Saloon, whose feature films The Secret of Kells, Song of the Sea, and Bluebeard have redefined animation for a generation of film-goers. The festival culminates in the Volta Awards, which honor those who have made contributions to the world of film. With past honorees like Gabriel Byrne and Daniel Day Lewis, there will be enough star power to light up the city. Visit here for a schedule of events and to buy tickets. Guests at the nearby Westin Dublin might want to take in a screening or buy a pass to this celebration of cinema.
