The line-up is: Rubaí, The Weather Report , Somewhere Down the Line , The Usual and Rival Chivalry.
This screening marks the beginning of a busy few weeks for my brothers short, TWR will be screening at a host of festivals at home and abroad. It has its North American premiere also today at The San Francisco Irish Film Festival as part of a very select bunch of shorts.
Also included on that list and screening at that festival is The Last Days of Peter Bergmann, which is continuing to screen at festivals.
As well as the screening in California, it is screening in Athens as part of the Athens International Film Festival. Director Ciaran Cassidy is in the greek capital for the event as a guest of honour by invitation of the Irish Ambassador. He’s probably reading this eating some feta right now…
