SUMMARY:Nollaig na mBan 2025: Women of Magic And Science

SUMMARY:IFI Kinopolis 2024
DESCRIPTION:The IFI’s annual celebration of Polish cinema returns with an extremely strong line-up of films that serves as a snapshot of not just the best of new Polish cinema\, but also of a society that\, like that of Ireland\, has become increasingly diversified and enriched by the arrival\, acceptance\, and integration of the richness of other cultures into their own. This year’s festival begins with The Girl with The Needle\, a Danish story told by a Polish director with Swedish roots; Minghun sees the observation of Chinese custom by Polish loved ones; and the harrowing\, excellent People is\, sadly\, well-named in its depiction of the Ukrainian conflict that may be all too horrifyingly familiar to those fleeing other international assaults. \n \nOn the lighter side\, we offer the heart-warming tales of a grumpy postman and a couple trying to fall in love with each other again in Sparrow and It’s Not My Film\, and a classic comedy featuring a titan of Polish acting\, with the late Jerzy Stuhr in Sexmission. We look forward to welcoming audiences to these engaging and thought-provoking films. \nIFI\, December 5th – 8th 2024 \nifi.ie/kinopolis

Horror fans too will be well catered for\, with Daniel Orejon’s exploration of the history of homophobia in Spain\, through a unique blend of choreography\, theatre and storytelling. Truly\, the two week long affair will have something to appeal to everyone\, with another feather to set in a cap of year after year of wonderful programming. \nInternational Dublin Gay Theatre Festival takes place from May 6th – 19th  \ngaytheatre.ie

SUMMARY:Beta
DESCRIPTION:Beta is a new festival of art and technology critically engaging with the impact of emerging technologies on society. Led by curator and creative producer Aisling Murray\, it will showcase and celebrate our research and artistic communities through a combination of creativity\, debate and experimentation. Beta will allow members of the public to engage playfully and critically with new technologies essentially beta testing ethical issues facing society. \nAcclaimed artists to participate in this year’s festival including Libby Heaney\, Leon Butler and Peter Power. \nTwo unique works have been commissioned to support the launch of Beta. Artist Leon Butler has imagined what the identity of a festival of art and technology could be and has generated a new font seen in the Beta logo. The final logo almost looks hand drawn or screen printed with beautifully imperfect edges – this intersection of cutting-edge technology and human creativity is exactly what Beta will explore with the festival. \nBeta’s website features a new commission from artist and designer Farouk Alao. Specialising in 3D motion and web design\, he has drawn inspiration from nature\, his world\, and human emotions. His vision explores the intersection of reality and imagination. The motion piece on Beta’s website\, called the Beta cube\, positions Beta as a centre point in which art\, technology and creativity resolve and makes use of the unique font designed by Butler. \nYou can view the events and exhibition which form part of Beta. The festival will take place November 2 – 5 with the opening night taking place at Roe & Co Distillery. The exhibition that opens as part of it continues in The Digital Hub and the National College of Art and Design (NCAD) for a further two weeks until November 19th. \n
