2010 Jameson Dublin International Film Festival
Actors Brendan Gleeson and Nora Jane Noone unveiled the line up for the 8th Jameson Dublin International Film Festival at the launch party in Dublin’s Tripod bar on Harcourt Street, Thursday 28th January. This year’s festival takes place from 18–28 February.
The festival will open with the European premiere of Neil Jordan’s new film Ondine, starring Colin Farrell, with Jordan and Farrell attending the screening. Highlights in this year’s festival include a season celebrating Kristin Scott Thomas’ French film work, including the Irish premiere of her new film Partir; three films featuring Patricia Clarkson: Whatever Works, Shutter Island and Cairo Time, which Clarkson will attend; as well as the Closing Gala I Am Love with director Luca Guadagnino and actor Tilda Swinton attending.
The Irish Talent Spotlight, now in its third year and run in association with the Irish Film Board, will platform director Conor Horgan, who will be showing two films at the festival, the world premiere of documentary The Beholder and the feature film One Hundred Mornings, IFTA-nominated actor Darren Healy, whose film Savage will be screened at the festival, and cinematographer Kate McCullough with Sundance acclaimed His & Hers. Conor, Darren and Kate will also participate in a panel discussion on representations of Ireland on screen, along with Sundance’s Director of Programming Trevor Groth, amongst others.
The festival will present a season of screenings as a tribute to the co-founder Michael Dwyer, who passed away in January. Michael truly celebrated cinema, and this selection of films, including My Beautiful Laundrette and The Best of Youth, pays testament to his passion. The 2010 festival is dedicated to his memory.
