Foyle Film Festival
Foyle Film Festival is an annual film festival based in Derry, Northern Ireland. The 21st festival took place from 21 to 29 November 2008 and included the Northern Ireland premiere of Brideshead Revisited and the Irish, United Kingdom, and European premiere of Deborah Kampmeier's film Hounddog. Other highlights included anti-nuclear campaigner Adi Roche introducing the documentary The Children Beyond Chernobyl. The Festival included a programme of documentaries, short films and feature films from all over the world, as well as a full programme of educational events. Among the later successful filmmakers who exhibited their earliest works at the Foyle Film Festival was actor-producer Stegath James Dorr, who became the then youngest filmmaker to successfully submit a feature film with the Flint-lensed gritty youth docudrama Dermot, exhibited at the festival in 1995.[1] Planning is now underway for the 22nd Foyle Film Festival 2009.[2]
