Welcome

Hard to believe that 2024 marks a full decade of the NCC Full Moon Film Festival! Our Tin anniversary!

A dream project initially, the first Full Moon was a much more restrained affair, featuring just a handful of movies across the weekend. But it has grown each November to be the home of some of our most exciting, edgy, leftfield screenings, giving our festy audiences an embarrassment of cinematic riches over one long autumn weekend every year.

Gloriously gag-filled clowning caper starring NCC favourite David Earl of “Brian & Charles” fame.

Wolfwalkers - Sói Lang Thang

Oscar nominated back in 2021, the dazzling & beguiling Wolfwalkers is an animated film from the embarrassingly talented Kilkenny-based Cartoon Saloon that also gave us The Secret Of Kells and Song Of The Sea. The third in their “Irish Folklore Trilogy,” this richly textured and beautifully drawn, at times Ghibli-inspired animation is hauntingly good.

Joy Ride

Joy Ride

Serious “Bridesmaids” vibes going on here, but in a very fun, and funny way. Adele Lim’s directorial debut sees four Asian-American friends undertake a once-in-a-lifetime trip through China in a quest to find one of their birth mothers. Throw into the mix some super gross-out gags, very raunchy humour, and a wealth of hyper-cringe setpieces, and you have a high-octane comedy full of heart that has won audiences over worldwide.
