Ireland's most successful boutique movie festival, Darklight is back for another year and is even more jammed with interesting films and wonderful workshops. Highlights this year are too plentiful to really list, but I'd love to attend the In Conversation with Seamus McGarvey. A superb and incredibly successful cinematographer from Armagh, who won an IFTA this year and has shot for the likes of Oliver Stone and Joss Whedon, McGarvey will be having a public chat with Blinder Films founder Kieran J Walsh at 1pm on Saturday . But as you can see below, there is so much more going on. The festival runs from August 23rd through to the 26th and you can get tickets from our lovely ticketing section.
