Week of Irish Film in Kinoteka Ljubljana, 10 - 17 September

Kinoteka, in cooperation with the Embassy of Ireland, is hosting a Week of Irish Film.

Ireland’s film industry is an important element in a smart and creative digital economy. Punching above its weight, Ireland’s film-making talent has a high international profile and is winning major international awards. Ireland is also an excellent co-producing partner for European and international productions, offering excellent facilities, stunning locations and award-winning casts and crews.

It will be possible for cinemagoers in Slovenia to view a selection of Irish films during the Week of Irish Film, which runs from 10 - 17 September. Hosted by Kinoteka in cooperation with the Embassy of Ireland, the week provides an opportunity for audiences of all ages and backgrounds to learn more about Irish film.
