VIDEO: The reel deel as Cork Film Festival branches out

Bjork, Christy Moore, and Derek Jarman will all feature in this year’s Cork Film Festival in a typically eclectic programme of screenings that will appeal to movie buffs and mainstream audiences alike.

The 59th festival, which runs from November 7-16, and was launched last night at the River Lee Hotel in Cork, will also spread its wings beyond its traditional city confines, with screenings in Mallow and Midleton.

“I want the festival to be one for the whole county and not just for the city,” said festival creative director James Mullighan.
