The Killruddery Film Festival takes place this weekend, in Killruddery House. It’s a festival with a difference as it specialises in silent film (as well as the classics). The silent films that are shown are all accompanied by live music. This years festival will screen South, a 1920 documentary about Shackleton’s expedition to the the south pole. John Ford fans are in for a treat too as The Informer and The Iron Horse will also screen. The full programme can be found here.
This year they will have in attendance, Kevin Brownlow probably the worlds greatest expert in silent film, the legendary Maurice Galway, Stephen Horne and Morgan Cooke who will be the musicians accompanying all the silent film.
Best of luck to the crew on the festival.
