Schull may not have had Cannes-style weather over the weekend, but pound-for-pound the film festival in the West Cork village punched way above its weight in terms of star power. The usual population of about 700 was swollen to capacity for the Fastnet Film Festival, with the great and the good of the film world coming together for screenings, discussions and to just generally hang out in the picturesque setting.
There’s Barry Keoghan giving up his seat for an elderly woman in Amar’s Café; or look, that’s Rebecca Miller in the Church of Ireland Hall (temporarily renamed The Plaza) introducing her film about her father Arthur Miller. Robert Sheehan, Domhnall Gleeson, top director Lenny Abrahamson, American star Bill Pullman, etc, etc.
