Film Festival Over :(

Well the Jameson Dublin International Film Festival ended on Sunday night but they certainly ended it with a bang. The world premiere of the fully Irish production 'Eden' took place in the Savoy. One of the best Irish films I've seen in a while Eden is a truly touching story with some stand out performances from an all Irish cast. There was of course a great after party for the end of the festival in The Sugar Club which was a great laugh.

Another brilliant film coming out in the next couple of weeks is 'The Other Boleyn Girl'. The Irish premiere was in Cineworld on Saturday night as part of the film festival so I went alng and wasn't disappointed. I'm not the biggest fan of period dramas but this one really worked. Scarlett Johannsen and Eric Bana pull off brilliant performances but Natalie Portman definitely steals the show as the bitchy sister!

All in all the film festival was better than ever this year with top class film premieres and lots of amazingly talented directors and actors were involved. Well done to Grainne and Johanna who put the programme together and to Jenny Shariff who sorted all my interviews and tickets! It was brilliant guys, well done!
