Film fest gets a drive-in cinema

A temporary drive-in cinema will be built in Cork this weekend as part of the city’s fourth Underground Short Film Festival.

Festival director Darren O’Mahony said the drive-in screen will be transported from Dublin for the festival’s outdoor screenings, which begin on Thursday.

“We’ve always wanted an outdoor screen and, thanks to our association with Underground Cinema Dublin, I’m delighted to say that we’ll be showing classic movies like Jaws, Ghostbusters, Alien, and Dirty Dancing. It’s going to be fantastic and I can’t wait to see it,” Mr O’Mahony said.
