Chaplin Film Festival, August 25th-28th

We're delighted to announce we'll be screening Henry & Sunny at the very first Chaplin Film Festival scheduled to take place in Waterville, Co. Kerry from August 25th-28th.

It is the aim of the Charlie Chaplin Comedy Film Festival to quickly become an international fixture that will bring a smile to Kerry, Ireland and the World. Chaplin with his courage and pioneering spirit, brought laughter to millions of people through the medium of film, in very dark times. Our hope is that the film-makers of today will follow in Charlie’s illustrious footsteps by showcasing their comedy films at the festival!

We are happy to oblige!
