The Virgin Media Dublin International Film Festival is currently in full swing and we’re excited to see so many films we’ve had the pleasure of working on featuring in the festival’s programme which runs in cinemas across the city from Wed Feb 20th to Sunday March 2. The festival is a high point of the film year and offers a great chance to see films from all corners of the world.
First on screen is filmmaker Paul Duane’s documentary ‘What Time is Death?’. This documentary funded by the Arts Council as part of the Reel Art strand tells the story of the return of Bill Drummond and Jimmy Cauty, formerly The KLF, in 2017. This time not as a band but as undertakers with a plan to build the ‘People’s Pyramid’.
It is screening at 6:30pm in IFI 1 on Tuesday Feb 26th.
Sound Design: Niall Brady
Re-recording Mixer: Ken Galvin
Saturday March 2nd sees the screening of two films sound posted with us. First on screen is Neil Jordan’s film ‘Greta’ starring Isabelle Huppert and Chloë Grace Moretz which mixed at Ardmore Sound with re-recording mixers Ken Galvin and Gabriel Gutiérrez. The film follows Frances (Chloë Grace Moretz) as she befriends Greta (Isabelle Huppert), but what starts as a friendship quickly dissolves and grows increasingly disturbing as Frances discovers that nothing in Greta’s life is what it seems.
It is screening at 8:10pm in the Light House Cinema on Saturday Mar 2nd.
Foley Mixer: Jean McGrath
Re-recording Mixer: Ken Galvin
Then a little later that evening at 8:20pm in Cineworld Kim Longinotto’s documentary ‘Shooting The Mafia’ gets its Irish premier. This powerful documentary explores the Sicilian Mafia through the eyes and lens of photographer Letizia Battaglia, who captured their brutality on her own terms. Its Irish screening comes soon after its world premiere screening at Sundance and its European premiere at Berlinale.
It is screening at 8:20pm in Cineworld on Saturday Mar 2nd

This film centres on a young mother aiming to rebuild her life following a vicious acid attack which left her seriously injured and with life-changing facial burns.
It is screening at 5:30pm in The Light House on Sunday Mar 3rd.
