FIVE YEARS AGO, THE IRISH FILM INSTITUTE STARTED A FILM CLUB FOR OLDER AUDIENCES CALLED ‘WILD STRAWBERRIES’, NAMED SO AFTER THE INGMAR BERGMAN FILM.
On the last Wednesday of every month, the IFI selected a film to be screened free for anyone over the age of 50, hoping to encourage people ‘of an age’ into the cinema to enjoy quality films (from the not-yet-released to longadored classics). In the past year, the club has begun to screen twice a month to meet the demand. This August, Wild Strawberries will be throwing a ‘surprise film’ fifth birthday party for itself and its loyal and appreciative audience. Our film choice for August is top secret with a wonderful prize on offer for anyone who can guess it on the day. The surprise film will be chosen and introduced by Grainne Humphreys, Jameson Dublin International Film Festival Director, and the original founder of the Wild Strawberries Club. Come and help us celebrate our fifth Birthday on Wednesday, August 29th, but do make sure you call us on 01-6129407 or 01-6129415 to reserve a place.
