Speaking at the opening celebration for KIFF 2022, Eibh Collins, Programme Director said: “As we have such an exciting few days of films and events ahead, it only feels right to start with a bang and open the festival with a sold out screening of Tarrac. KIFF have worked hard to curate an exciting variety of films and events across this year’s festival, there is something for everyone and we hope that the public enjoys it.”
KIFF recently announced Actress and Writer Amy Huberman as the KIFF 2022 Maureen O’Hara Award recipient.
