This year's Darklight Festival will take place Thursday 20 - Saturday 22 October in The Factory, 35A Barrow St. Grand Canal Dock.
The Darklight Festival Launch Thursday 20 October at 7pm
Celebrate the opening of the 13th annual Darklight Film Festival … enjoy a free beer or two from independent local breweries with music from Michael 'Le Cool' McDermott who will entertain us with a YouTube DJ set. Followed by a screening of the opening film Sound It Out (Jeanie Finlay, 2011)
This year's festival theme is Strictly Roots and we'll be celebrating the spirit of grassroots filmmaking; how friends and communities come together, and against the crazy backdrop of global financial meltdown still manage to make moving, hilarious, challenging and kick-ass films.
Through our programme strands at this year’s festival; New Indie Voices, Spotlight on Docs, SFX Unplugged, 3-D.I.Y. and Artist in Focus, we’ll be featuring all aspects of grassroots filmmaking including; crowd funding, distribution, homemade digital and special FX. And it’s all taking place in our new HQ, The Factory, Grand Canal Dock.
