St. Patrick's Festival

In the organizer's words:

Irish Film Berlin's St. Patrick's Festival presents not only highlights of Irish cinematic art, but a cultural event with live music that brings people together on St. Patrick's weekend.

With a mix of thought-provoking documentaries, energetic feature films and an exploration of the visual arts, it has something for everyone. Come for the movies and stay for the craic (fun in green) - because in addition to the film screenings, you can also expect a live music session!

For the third year, the festival invites you on a cinematic journey through Ireland's past, present and future. On Saturday, the visual arts and music take center stage - from the birth of punk rock in Good Vibrations to U2's musical reinvention in Berlin with their album Achtung, Baby in From The Sky Down to the rebellious energy of multi-award-winning, Irish-language hip-hop trio Kneecap. On Monday, The Irish Question examines the pros and cons of a possible unification of Ireland. The Flats, on the other hand, shows the consequences of the Northern Ireland conflict that can still be felt today and provides a moving insight into the lives of those affected. The festival concludes with a retrospective of Neil Jordan's Breakfast on Pluto - a colorful journey of self-discovery against the backdrop of social upheaval.

The Irish Film Berlin Festival is both a celebration of Irish Film, and a cultural and social event that brings people together over St. Patrick's Weekend.

With a blend of thought-provoking documentaries, energizing films and a celebration of the visual arts, there's something for everyone. Come for the screenings and stay for the craic - we'll have a live music session too!

Now in its third year, the festival brings you on a journey through Ireland's past, present, and future. On Saturday, explore the arts and dive into many music scenes of Ireland, from the birth of punk in "Good Vibrations", U2 evolving into rock stars in Berlin in "From The Sky Down", to the Irish-language rap sensation "Kneecap".

On Monday, "The Irish Question" invites you to ponder the possibility of a united Ireland, with all the challenges that entails, and "The Flats," confronts the lingering effects of the Troubles in Belfast, offering a poignant look at the lives of those affected by the historical conflict.
We finish with a Neil Jordan retrospective "Breakfast on Pluto," a colorful journey of self-discovery set against the backdrop of societal change.
