Irish Film Festival 2019

Dear Members & Friends,

Save the date: The 2019 Irish Film Festival will take place in Bangkok from 04-06 October. Hosted by the Embassy of Ireland, it is the third year of the festival and will be held at the Bangkok Screening Room in Sala Daeng.

Ambassador of Ireland to Thailand, His Excellency Tony Cotter said:

“The Embassy is delighted to host and present the 2019 Irish Film Festival in Bangkok. Following on from the success of the previous two festivals we have more diverse and exciting Irish films to showcase this year.”
He continued:

“This year we are delighted to show the Oscar nominated film ‘Brooklyn’, which brings to life the Irish-American emigrant experience in this beautifully crafted, exceptionally moving adaptation of Colm Tóibín’s much admired novel. We are also thrilled to be able to show the dark gritty drama depicting one of the darkest time in Irish history ‘Black 47’ set during the Irish Famine.”

The Ambassador added:

“For the first time the Irish Film Festival in Bangkok will feature a series of short films highlighting the quality of LGBT film and filmmaking talent within Ireland entitled ‘GAZE on Tour 2018’. The festival also features a documentary entitled ‘Making the Grade’, which explores the heart-warming and life-affirming tales of students and their beloved piano teachers from across Ireland. This year’s festival is truly diverse and offers something for all audience members”.
