Film Festivals and Film Culture in Ireland (Study Abroad Opportunity)
Discover the richly cinematic culture and history of Ireland and Northern Ireland with TU in Summer 2024. Attend the world-renowned Galway Film Fleadh (festival) and watch groundbreaking independent cinema while interacting with upcoming filmmakers and fellow cinephiles.
