Killruddery Film Festival 2013
Sept 27th – 29th 2013
The Killruddery Film Festival is a rare thing among film festivals. It shows classic and silent films accompanied by music and all in the wonderful surroundings of Killruddery House and Gardens here in Bray.
“It’s for film lovers who want to see something new, but don’t want to compromise on excellent story telling, for music lovers who want to see musicians accompany films in a way that is almost magical in the skill it requires, for anyone who wants to be told a really great story and as ever there is a kids friendly section to our programme.”
Killruddery Film Festival
It begins on Friday at 8pm with Come On Over – is a lively silent comedy which accompanied live by Stephen Horne, followed by The Burden of Dreams at 10pm. The festival continues all day on Saturday and Sunday with shows suitable for kids taking place in the mornings as well as late night showings in the atmospheric Orangery.
7.00pm Nightdancers
The film is about a group of Ugandan breakdancers who decide to explore a powerful traditional spirit who has the power to possess the living and resurrect the dead. This unique work by Irish Filmmaker Emile Dineen is a must see. Tickets and more information here.

- and The Trail of 98 which is on at 9.00pm on Sunday:
The Trail of ’98 is a silent epic telling the story of the Klondike gold rush in 1898. It was an extremely difficult shoot and while reports vary, there is some agreement that there were casualties during shooting. This will be shown in The Orangery under the cover of darkness so bring along a blanket for your knees. There will be live muiscial accompaniment from Stephen Horne. Tickets and more information here. – See more at: http://www.killruddery.com/killruddery-film-festival-sept-27th-29th-2013/#sthash.4zfGU4oJ.dpuf“The Trail of ’98 is a silent epic telling the story of the Klondike gold rush in 1898.
