That’s a wrap as Corona film fest comes to a close

THE 56th Corona Cork Film Festival closed last night with the Gala Screening of Ivan Sen’s Australian film Toomelah, set among the indigenous population of New South Wales.

Deputy Lord Mayor Kenneth O’Flynn, speaking on behalf of Cork City Council, thanked everyone involved in the committee and administrative team of Cork Film Festival. “The festival is not just about film anymore. It’s also expanded into music and art,” he said, “and it’s wonderful that so many people come to Cork for the event.”

Michael Barry of festival sponsors Barry Fitzwilliam also thanked everyone involved and said he was already looking forward to next year.
