Filmbase to screen a selection of Irish language short films throughout the St. Patrick’s Festival
The St. Patrick’s Festival kicked off on Friday 12th with a whole host of activities taking place across the city and country this weekend and into next week. As part of the festivities Filmbase has programmed a selection of Irish language short films which will screen at the building for passers by to watch and enjoy. Below is a list of the films chosen, you’ll find there’s a selection of some of the most recent Irish language shorts to be made in Ireland as well as some old favourites!
