Film fans are planning their schedules.

This year’s IndieCork film festival takes over the Arc Cinema Cork from October 6th to 13th with a host of award-winning documentaries, new feature films and Ireland’s largest representation of short films.

A total of 27 countries from across the world will be represented at this year’s IndieCork film festival, as well as a record number of entries from Cork city and county.

The opening night film on October 6th is ‘Juliette In Spring,’ a French comedy-drama which has charmed festival audiences recently. Directed by Blandine Lenoir, it will screen on October 6th at The Arc Cinema.

If you’re looking for a hot tip on the ones to watch, one of the most interesting documentaries at the festival is ‘Call Me Mule ‘by director John McDonald, who will fly in from Seattle for his screening.

This multi-award-winning film tells the true story of a man who has chosen to wander across the USA with his three mules in tow, harking back to a quieter and slower time, reminiscent of the Old West.

“It’s a really exciting programme and we’re welcoming international guests from France, USA, Italy, Croatia, Portugal and Scotland.” said Mick Hannigan, Co-Director of IndieCork.

“These include filmmakers, but also festival directors and programmers, invited to IndieCork to view the latest Irish film talent. Curating the programme each year is a huge privilege and it’s great to once again work with the team at the beautiful Arc Cinema, and our great sponsors Blacknight Solutions, it simply would not happen without their support.”
