Jameson International Film Festival – Dublin

Event Dates: 16th – 26th February 2012

Established in 2003, The Jameson Dublin International Film Festival (JDIFF) has fast become Ireland’s premiere feature film festival. The festival takes place in Ireland’s capital city over the course of 11 days and nights. JDIFF will present over 120 films from the four corners of the globe.

The festival is a citywide event that takes place in all of the Dublin City Centre Cinemas including Cineworld, The Savoy, Screen, Irish Film Institute and Light House Cinema in Smithfield (just across from Generator Hostel Dublin!). The majority of films shown at the film festival are Irish premieres, and for some of the films shown, the festival represents the only public screening that will take place in Ireland.

Most of the venues can be reached using public transport, ask in the Generator Hostel Dublin Travel Shop for more details.

Eating and drinking in Dublin

Report to Restaurant Admiral on Marlborough Street for some top quality cuisine. Have a look at the Monday to Friday lunch time happy hour and fill up on three courses for a reasonable 9.95 Euros.

For those feeling thirsty, the Stag’s Head on Dame Court does a great pint. Records of a public house on the site date back to 1770. Check out the well preserved Victorian interior.
