In this Film Ireland Podcast, we’re shining a spotlight on the Dublin International Comedy Film Festival (DICFF), which returns for its sixth edition from 27th - 30th November, to Tailors’ Hall, The Liberties. First up, festival director Mo O’Connell talks through this year’s jam-packed programme. Then we have a live recording from the first heat of the DICFF stand-up competition, held earlier this year in collaboration with Culture 8 and the Dublin Liberties Distillery. (Starting at 16.57) Finally, Film Ireland contributor Rachel Melita is in conversation with actor, writer, and filmmaker Laoisa Sexton. Laoisa’s short I Can't Go On screens as part of Shorts Block F on Friday, 29th November. (Starting at 19.37) As Mo mentions in the podcast, here is the GoFundMe link to support Haneen Koraz, as she empowers the children of Gaza through art. https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-haneen-koraz-empower-voices-through-art And here's a link to support Aisling & her three boys, Ted, Sonny & Max. https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-for-aisling-and-her-three-boys-ted-sonny-and-max This episode has been made possible with the support of Coimisiún na Meán and the Screen Ireland Stakeholder’s Scheme.
