The programme includes presentation of a series of silent films from the IFI Irish Film Archive accompanied by scores from contemporary Irish composers; a major focus on Jim Sheridan (pictured right) featuring both his work and influences; a season of the best of contemporary Irish documentary; and a showcase of new Irish shorts.

Highlights include George Dewhurst’s Irish Destiny (1926) presented with Micheál Ó Súilleabháin’s magnificent score on St. Patrick’s Day in Brussels; Denis Johnston’s Guests of the Nation accompanied by an orchestral score from IFTA-award-winning Niall Byrne at the new Barbican Cinema in London on April 14th; and a whirlwind tour of Willy Reilly and his Colleen Bawn with Bernard Reilly and the Cine-Theatre Ensemble at the Kino Babylon in Berlin, Cinema le Balzac in Paris and the Cine Dore in Madrid in June.
