IFI DOCUMENTARY FESTIVAL September 23rd – 27th
Bringing a feast of the world's best factual films to Dublin, the newly rebranded and enlarged IFI DOCUMENTARY FESTIVAL (formerly IFI Stranger than Fiction) is back once again and will screen 14 feature length documentaries (with one world premiere and ten Irish premieres) and welcome a host of special guest filmmakers from Ireland and abroad, alongside a series of special events.
One of this year's picks is SPEED SISTERS - and we have two pairs of tickets to the Irish Premiere to give away.
FRI 25TH, 8.30pm (Irish Premiere)
A speed car racing scene has flourished in the West Bank recently, providing release and distraction in the volatile region. Though a sport dominated by men, an all-female racing team are winning fans and admirers and attracting enviable sponsorship deals. Amber Fares’ lively and daring documentary follows five Palestinian women racers who are desperate to be taken seriously. Though they come from different backgrounds, with a variety of motivations, they are determined to overcome the repression they are confronted with. Speed Sisters boldly confounds stereotypes while illustrating the diversity of the Palestinian experience.
