Made In Sligo - A Festival celebrating Sligo film



Cinema North West are proud to present Made In Sligo, a follow up to our successful Made in Leitrim festival last year. This year we focus on Sligo's filmmakers and the films made here. With a programme which covers feature films (Mapmaker, Waveriders, 32A, Swansong) documentaries (Tell Me Captain Strange) as well as extensive Shorts and Community programmes, there's sure to be lots to enjoy.

We include the little seen Coney Island Baby as well as the local production 3.10 to Claremorris straight after it's world premiere in Tubbercurry. On top of that we have firm family favourites such as ET-The Extraterrestrial and the original Miracle on 34th Street, just to get you in the Christmas mood. (Okay, those two weren't made in Sligo, but we do like them.)

Check out the full programme on the Made in Sligo page and be sure to drop by. And don't forget, one low price for all tickets, five euro.

Another Adaptation in the can...



Yet another Adaptation Festival under our belts here. Well done to Johnny Gogan of Cinema North West and Sunniva O'Flynn and Aoife Coughlan in the IFI for sourcing and arranging such marvellous material.

A few snaps of Eugene McCabe, our featured writer, this year. Thanks again to all our visitors, it makes such a difference when we get to meet and chat with all of you.
