Foyle Film Festival Celebrates Classics
The schedule for this year's Foyle Film Festival has been launched at Londonderry's Nerve Centre.
Those visiting the Derry-based festival this year will experience 'cinema flashback' as the festival celebrates the magic of the past with classic films to transport the audience back to another place in time and history.
Festival Director and Programmer, Bernie McLaughlin is pictured at the launch with actor, Adam Best, who features in the Irish feature film, Cup Cake, which screens at the festival this year.
Classic films showcased as part of this year's programme include a 35mm print screening of Orson Welles' seminal masterpiece Citizen Kane - which encapsulates the theme of this year's festival.
Another classic film included in the programme is the newly restored director's cut of Fritz Lang's Metropolis.
As part of this year's education programme the festival also celebrates the 40th Anniversary of the classic children's film The Railway Children, and the 50th Anniversary of Harper Lee's Pulitzer Prize winning novel To Kill A Mockingbird.
Foyle Film Festival takes place from Friday 19 November to Saturday 27 November.
