IFI FAMILY FESTIVAL 2021
The
IFI
Family
Festival
is back,
August 27th to 29th!
Our annual three days of fun and film for ages 4-12 will look a bit different this year. With socially-distant seating and child-friendly precautions, you can feel safe with your family in our venue and enjoy some of the best new films from around the world on the big screen. With help from RTÉ Home School Hub’s Emer and Ray, we’ll also have a mix of virtual and live activities. So grab your goodie bag and take your seats, it’s time to enjoy the sights and sounds of cinema again at IFI.
