Film buffs spoilt for choice
Features include: Millions, the latest from Danny “Trainspotting” Boyle; Finding Neverland has Johnny Depp playing JM Barrie, the creator of the immortal Peter Pan; Coffee and Cigarettes by Jim Jarmusch is a series of rambling vignettes built around caffeine and nicotine, including a turn from the venerable Bill Murray; Strange Fruit, ostensibly part of the gay festival, is anything but minority interest, it’s a brutal tale of murder, bigotry and racism in the Deep South and director Kyle Schickner is in Cork to do some meet-and-greet; The Big Red One: The Reconstruction has rescued Sam Fuller’s 1980 war movie, adding an extra hour of footage.
The Lord Mayor’s family screening, Ella Enchanted - free, and especially for children - is classic fairytale fare.
