RCC works with access>CINEMA on their regular film programme, with the venue showcasing an exciting and eclectic line-up of titles. Their most recent film season has included screenings of world cinema gems like All We Imagine as Light, On Becoming a Guinea Fowl and The Last Dance, alongside award winners such as Anora and A Real Pain.

We’re delighted to highlight them this month as they’re about to launch 2025’s Sound! Festival, which brings together “immersive music, film, and sound”. Alongside an exciting series of film screenings – detailed below – the festival also includes concerts, audiovisual workshops, and a special live event with Sean Ronayne (focus of the acclaimed documentary Birdsong). It’s a great example of creative and thematic film programming, supported by exciting special events.

RCC’s Jeremy Howard explains what’s coming up in this year’s festival, which runs from May 8th – 11th.  

The Regional Cultural Centre hosts the third edition of the SOUND! Soundtrack Film Festival from 8–11 May, a focused programme exploring the relationship between music and film.

The festival opens with a family screening of Flow, an award-winning animated eco-fable by Latvian director Gints Zilbalodis, followed by a live performance by the Donegal Chamber Orchestra and guests at An Grianán Theatre, presenting music from iconic films such as The Mission, The Godfather, and Cinema Paradiso.
