Spotlight on Cork

The Cork Film Festival (14th -21st October) has announced its opening and closing films and offered a glimpse at the rest of the line-up. The festival opens with the Coen brother's adaptation of Cormac McCarthy novel No Country for Old Men and closes with the new Ang Lee film Lust, Caution, which was written by James Schamus and Hui-Ling Wang, based on a story by Eileen Chang.

Also on the programme are drive-in movies, short films, documentaries, family screenings, and a selection of Algerian films.

American director John Dahl (Rounders, The Last Seduction) will be interviewed in public at the festival, and will attend the screening of his new film You Kill Me (written by Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely).
