Ireland also only has a small film industry, and a handful of decent cinemas.
But we Irish also have a huge love of cinema in all its many forms and genres.
Therefore, it is with the greatest of pleasure that - at long last - we can offer the tiniest beginnings of an International Buddhist Film Festival for Dublin, Ireland.
We will start small and keep it all quite simple. It could be just 20 of us watching and discussing the best of Buddhist film and documentary in someone's sitting room. Or it could be a bit bigger than that ... who knows? Maybe a couple of hundred festival club members lapping up the creme de la creme of international Dharma movies. Maybe we'll be in a small Art House cinema. Or maybe we'll be in a university lecture theatre ... who knows? But we'll be together and it'll be just grand.
We are aiming for September 2010, which is quite soon. So we are calling out to all Buddhist would-be film festival organising team-members in the Dublin area! Come help us...
please email: buddhist.film.festival@gmail.com
We also wholeheartedly encourage Buddhist communities in other places to network together and produce their own local festivals, however small.
