Irish Screening

Posted in Striped Pyjamas - The Movie on July 2, 2008 by johnboyne

A very exciting day yesterday at Disney’s trade day in Dublin, where Irish cinema owners, distributors and others were shown trailers and works-in-progress from Disney and Miramax films which will be released over the next year. The audience were also treated to two full screenings: WALL-E, the latest Pixar animation release, a fascinating and beautiful film and yet another immediate classic from the extraordinary team at Pixar, as well as the first Irish screening of THE BOY IN THE STRIPED PYJAMAS.

A wonderful dinner afterwards led us to a late night session at Lillie’s Bordello, the perfect way to end a hugely enjoyable day.
