CRUINNIÚ NA NÓG AT KERRY INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL

Explore animation with Kerry International Film Festival!

We are thrilled to offer a free programme of short animations from Ireland and beyond that will inspire and delight as part of this year’s Cruinniú na nÓg (Saturday 15th June). The programme is suitable for ages 4+ and open to everyone.

After the screening, there will be an interactive stop-motion workshop, where participants (aged 8+) will get the opportunity to learn the basics of cut-out animation, make paper puppets and work together to create their own animated film.

No experience required, just bring a big imagination! Spaces are limited and booking is essential!
