Film festival moves online

The remainder of the IndieCork festival will take place online, it was announced earlier this week.

Tuesday marked the final day of the physical festival given after Level 3 restrictions were implemented at midnight on Tuesday.

The virtual version of the festival will continue until 18 October. Commenting on the move, Festival Co-Director Mick Hannigan said: “We’re hugely grateful to our partners The Gate Cinema. Since last Sunday everything has operated to the highest standard, and they always take care of people. The Gate is so supportive of local cinema and indeed, of IndieCork. We will be back in the cinemas but for this year we will enjoy all the wonderful films online.”

Úna Feely, Festival Co-Director commented: “IndieCork Online has really taken off, and we are delighted to announce that many of the films people were anticipating seeing will be available there. A big thanks goes to Blacknight Solutions, our online partner, as they have helped us realise our online festival in a very imaginative and user-friendly way. So, we hope that people will join us online, enjoy the festival, there are films but also interviews and Q&As and some of the festival atmosphere.”
