THE VIRGIN MEDIA Dublin International Film Festival kicks off on 23 February, and to get us in the mood for two weeks of movie-going, we caught up with the festival’s director Grainne Humphreys.

In our chat she filled us in on how they put the festival together; how to encourage people to watch more subtitled films; and what she loves about cinema. 

If you’re a film fan or want to know what it takes to be a festival programmer, this is a must-watch. The Journal will be covering the festival over the next few weeks, so keep an eye out for our coverage.
