Jim Sheridan opens the Belgrade Irish Festival in March

The Belgrade Irish Festival (BIF), an event that traditionally showcases the art and culture of Ireland to the local audience every March, will be held for the twelfth time this year, from March 8th to 18th, as part of St. Patrick’s Week in Belgrade.

Over the course of ten days, the Belgrade audience will have the opportunity to enjoy a selection of Irish films, award-winning theater performances, photography exhibitions, engage in discussions with directors, writers, and journalists from Ireland, learn more about the country and its culture through interactions with Irish residents in Serbia.

This year, the Belgrade Irish Festival will be inaugurated by Jim Sheridan, the renowned screenwriter, producer, and director from Ireland, whose films have received 16 Oscar nominations, and whom the domestic audience most notably recognizes for the movies “In the Name of the Father” and “My Left Foot” (both starring Daniel Day-Lewis in lead roles).
