The prestigious Irish film event is poised to launch its 32nd edition (7-12 July), which will be held fully online and will host ten world premieres. Last week, the Galway Film Fleadh (7-12 July) announced the programme for its 2020 edition through a 20-minute live broadcast on its official YouTube channel. For the first time, the historic Irish gathering will take place entirely online, in response to the coronavirus crisis and the unpredictable times we live in. The Fleadh will kick off on 7 July with a digital screening of Aideen Kane, Lucy Kennedy and Maeve Boyle’s much-anticipated documentary The 8th, which focuses on the 2018 referendum on abortion and follows some key pro-choice campaigners and how they enabled the emergence of a more liberal society in Ireland. The New Irish Cinema section includes several first features, such as Philip Doherty’s black comedy Redemption of a Rogue, Phil Sheerin’s horror.
