Cork Cine Club: 'Our experience is different from going to a commercial cinema' 

Cork Cine Club and its counterpart in Kerry are passionate about bringing independent and overseas films to local audiences, writes Esther McCarthy

In early 2010, Cork Cine Club was founded with the goal of bringing independent world cinema to audiences.

Run as a non-profit by volunteers, organisers set out to bring films that were not widely available to movie lovers. Three hundred films and 16 years later, Cine Club is currently into its 29th season, with films from all over the world screened on Thursday nights at Cork College of FET’s Douglas Street Campus.
