The festival is designed to act as a launching pad for Irish films and filmmakers by bringing them visibility within the Hollywood community.

1:00pm - THE IRON HORSE. Directed by John Ford (born Sean O'Feeney). B & W, Silent, 1924. One of the great silent screen epic-scale westerns, portraying love, treachery and revenge, John Ford's film about the building of the transcontinental railroad was one of Ford's first major successes and was hugely influential on outdoor films that followed. Shot on location in Arizona in Ford's beloved Monument Valley. 133 min. Tickets $11
7:00pm – Closing Night Special Event.
Classic silent films will be accompanied by a live orchestra with a contemporary score composed by Eimear Noone, conductor of the L.A Ballet. THE LAD FROM OLD IRELAND, directed by Sidney Olcott. In August 1910, the Kalem Company of New York City sent director Sidney Olcott and a film crew to Ireland to make "The Lad From Old Ireland."
The film is the story of a boy who emigrated to America to escape the desperate poverty of Ireland. After becoming successful in his adopted country he returns to retrieve his sweetheart just as her destitute family is being forced off their land. Plays with IN THE DAYS OF ST. PATRICK, directed by Norman Whitten (1920). The story of 4th Century Saint Patrick - the prince who became a slave, the slave who became a priest, the priest who converted a nation.
