Our popular Irish language film event returns with Fidil Ghorm (Blue Fiddle), an award-winning, family-friendly drama.

10-year-old Molly is on a heartfelt mission to bring her father out of a coma. A chance meeting with an elderly man at her father’s residential home fuels Molly’s determination and, believing that mastering the fiddle and winning the prestigious All-Ireland Competition might wake her father, she sets off to follow in his musical footsteps.

Winner of Best Irish Feature at the Galway Film Fleadh 2024
