This summer program immerses students in cinema studies in Ireland. They are given the opportunity to work both critically and creatively, taking courses on contemporary Irish cinema and digital filmmaking, as well as attending Ireland’s largest film festival held every year in Galway, the Film Fleadh. Weekly excursions and local outings in and around Dublin and the Irish countryside allow them to learn on location about the country’s rich film history and explore the sites where important historical events, and films about those events took place. Students take courses at the Institute Of Art Design and Technology (IADT) in Dún Laoghaire, a community on the outskirts of Dublin, and live with Irish families in homestays.
