As we prepare for our 20th anniversary, we will also look back on some of the almost 600 Irish films we have screened through the years. We strive to help each and every film we screen and have seen many great successes in the past. Our mission going forward is to try having agents and distributors in the room to experience the screenings and for them to see what it is like to exhibit to a very diverse US audience. We look forward to our 20th year and all that it will bring for Irish Film.
Dawn Morrissey, Director – Irish Film Festival, Boston
