The full programme for the Dingle Film Festival has now been published. THE BOY IN THE STRIPED PYJAMAS is the opening night film, on Thursday September 11. Tickets for the film, which will be shown at 8 pm in the Phoenix Cinema, can be purchased online from the festival website. Sadly I won’t be able to attend this screening as it clashes with the UK premiere in London the same night; I was in Dingle a couple of months ago for a reading in the Dingle bookstore before Listowel Writers Week and it’s a beautiful part of the world.

In addition to screening out of competition at next month’s San Sebastian film festival in Spain, THE BOY IN THE STRIPED PYJAMAS will be the opening night film at this year’s Dingle Film Festival in County Kerry, Ireland, on Thursday September 11 (the night before it opens nationwide.) Tickets for the gala screening aren’t on sale yet but no doubt will be soon from the festival website.

International Premiere at San Sebastian Film Festival
Posted in Festivals, Striped Pyjamas - The Movie on July 31, 2008 by johnboyne
Following the Irish and UK premieres of THE BOY IN THE STRIPED PYJAMAS in early September, the international premiere will take place at the San Sebastian Film Festival in Spain, out of competition.
The cast and crew - and me - will be in San Sebastian for the premiere. It’s a very appropriate place to show the film as the novel has sold more than a million copies in Spain since it was published there last year.
The festival website can be seen here.
Variety Magazine also has a report of the upcoming screening here.

The Film Factory, the Disney website which features news on all their and Miramax’s upcoming film releases in the UK and Ireland, has launched a dedicated page to THE BOY IN THE STRIPED PYJAMAS. The first picture of the movie poster can be seen there (and here, left) as well as some more stills from the film. The trailer will be up and running there shortly too. You can visit the site here.
Film Education Resource

Film Education is a website that supports resources for teachers and schools who are involved in media education. They are currently hosting a site relating to the film adaptation of THE BOY IN THE STRIPED PYJAMAS which is filled with information, and also contains a very short clip from the opening of the film.
There’s lots of other interesting things on the site too and I believe the trailer for the film will be there soon. (As it will on this journal.)
