The Craic Festival - Teenage craic better than ever - SEE VIDEOS

“I personally have a passion for documentary film makers. I’ve worked with them, I’ve done them, I hang out with documentary filmmakers so His & Hers is perfect for us,” says Mulligan.

There will also be a special Kids Film Fleadh on Saturday afternoon, March 12, which will include a screening of the best of Ireland’s short films for children, and the craic will really get going with Irish step dancing after the screening handled by the Niall O'Leary dance group (complimentary coffee and donuts for adults and goodie bags for the kids will be provided – they think of everything, this lot).

Irish A-list stars like Colin Farrell, Aidan Quinn and Cillian Murphy tend to turn up unannounced for festival events and screenings so you never know who’ll you meet.

“Peter Cunnan and Damien Dempsey are confirmed for the Between the Canal’s premiere,” says Mulligan, hinting that some of his A-list buddies will also be in town.

With the festival presented by Con Edison, the after parties are going to be epic too, sponsored by Stella Artois and Tullamore Dew (get the hint?).

This is the best and brightest kick off to the St. Patrick’s Day season, so grab your tickets while you still can. For more information, contact festival manager Marisol Cheng at 646-549-1349.
