Darklight Dates Set

The dates for this year's Darklight Symposium have been announced: 21 - 23 June 2007, in Dublin.

Darklight Symposium is a biannual programme which aims to create a forum for ideas and issues pertaining to film and the arts, plugging into international currents by inviting speakers from abroad.

The Symposium 2007 will be a focused three day event and consist of a combination of seminars, workshops and master classes, including one with UK 's celebrated animator Chris Shepherd. We are inviting artists, filmmakers and technologists to present and explore issues relevant to anyone involved in cultural production, creative industries, journalism, broadcasting and technology. The master class and lecture programme will give the audience a more intimate insight into the professional practice and inspirations of our guest speakers.

The seminars, workshops, screenings and master classes will be held in Dublin city centre and the forums will take place at FilmBase in Temple Bar.

The entire weekend costs €50, and there is a special student rate of €20.

More details will be available from the Darklight website soon, but those who wish to pre-book can do so online.
