Concluding the festival is Blood Rising, a documentary about the victims of femicide in Juarez, Mexico.
There is also a musical treat for film fans, with a concert attended by Oscar winning film composer Dario Marianelli (Pride and Prejudice, Anna Karenina, Atonement), featuring many of his famous scores.
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.
