Dublin International Film Festival Tour for Riverbank

Riverbank Arts Centre, in partnership with Access Cinema, will be hosting the Dublin International Film Festival Tour 2024 on Saturday 2 March from 3pm. Programme highlights include French comedy drama Toni, West African folklore tale Mami Wata, along with a specifically curated Shorts Programme. 

Screening at 3pm, this year’s Shorts titles include: Grill by Jade Aksnes (Norway); The Old Young Crow by Liam LoPinto (Japan/USA); I Promise You Paradise by Morad Mostafa (Egypt); 7 fois by Christine Wiederkehr (Switzerland); Expectations and Other Products by Dali Rust (Lithuania); and Treasure by the River by Hanjie Bao, Manting Huang (China).

French comedy drama Toni is on the big screen at 5pm. Starring Camile Cottin as the titular character, Toni is a single mother raising her five children alone. She sings at bars and had a hit single 20 years ago. Today, as her two eldest prepare to go to college, Toni wonders: what will she do when all of her offspring have left home?

Visually stunning Mami Wata screens at 8pm. This genre-bending tale brings to life a futuristic fable that fuses spiritual beliefs with inter-generational tensions. Set in the matriarchal ocean village of Iyi, where West African water deity, Mami Wata, reigns via village leader Mama Efe, it uniquely brings to the screen a story of mythology, fantasy, and folklore. When the harmony of the village is threatened, two sisters must fight to restore order, as traditions of the past crash with calls from the future.

The Dublin International Film Festival Tour is supported by The Arts Council of Ireland.
