Moviegoers in Cork will be able to see films for as little as \u20ac4 next weekend as part of National Cinema Weekend.<\/p>\n
Participating cinemas across the country will offer tickets from \u20ac4 on September 5 and 6 under the initiative, which is supported by F\u00eds \u00c9ireann\/Screen Ireland.<\/p>\n
Cork venues taking part include Arc Cinema Cork, Omniplex Mahon Point, The Reel Picture in Blackpool and Ballincollig, Triskel Arts Centre, and cinemas in Midleton, Clonakilty, and Bantry.<\/p>\n
Previous National Cinema Days were such a huge success in Ireland, with over 200,000 admissions across a single day, that the film industry made the decision to extend the initiative this year to take in a full weekend.<\/p>\n
Cork classic The Young Offenders will be re-released on National Cinema Weekend to celebrate its 10-year anniversary.<\/p>\n
The film\u2019s stars Alex Murphy and Chris Walley said: \u201cWe think there\u2019s nothing like the magic of going to the movies.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe shared communal experience of enjoying films as they were meant to be seen \u2013 on the big screen with a captive audience, is one of our favourite things to do.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re really looking forward to celebrating National Cinema Weekend this year by catching as many films as we can, and re-watching some of the great movies we’ve already enjoyed at the cinema this year.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Almost every cinema in Ireland will participate, offering a wide variety of new and recent releases as well as additional screenings including sensory, subtitled, and captioned screenings.<\/p>\n
F\u00eds \u00c9ireann chief executive D\u00e9sir\u00e9e Finnegan said: \u201cScreen Ireland is proud to support National Cinema Weekend, which is set to be a fantastic celebration of cinema, in recognition of Irish audiences and their continued support for Irish film on the big screen.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith such a wide range of films available to choose from as part of the initiative, we hope audiences across the country can find new Irish stories to connect with this year.”<\/p>\n
