We are happy to announce our festival dates for 2008. The Dingle Film Festival will open on Thursday 11th September and close on Sunday the 14th September.

We are also happy to announce that a very special guest to the festival this year will be Cecilia Peck.

DFF will honour the Hollywood screen legend Gregory Peck who won an Oscar for his performance in To Kill A Mocking Bird. Pecks connection with Dingle has been well documented, with many of his relatives living there. DFF will also welcome his daughter Cecilia Peck to give a public interview discussing her fathers roots in Dingle and his legendary career. A screening of her film In Conversation with Gregory Peck will take place at the festival. This film was produced by Cecilia Peck and directed by 2 time Oscar winning director Barbara Kopple.

Gregory Peck: A Dingle Legend
I expect that every Irish-American coming to Ireland says visiting makes them feel good to be here. But I feel drawn to Dingle, I feel a sense of coming home. For me that is what it is. This is where my grandmother, Catherine Ashe, came from.
