On the night of the 24th we will have our networking and honorary screening event in the Technological University of the Shannon, Athlone Campus, kicking off at 18:30 with complimentary tea's coffee's and light refreshments. This event is sponsored by the TUS business faculty and free and open to all.

The following morning on the 25th of April in the Radisson hotel Athlone, we have Rachel Moloney with a brand new workshop entitled, Anatomy of a scene: how to write dynamic scenes and compelling dialogue. Limited availability for these tickets so book early to avoid disappointment here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/anatomy-of-a-scene-how-to-write-dynamic-scenes-and-compelling-dialogue-tickets-1986633208405?utm-campaign=social&utm-content=attendeeshare&utm-medium=discovery&utm-term=listing&utm-source=cp&aff=ebdsshcopyurl
Last but certainly not least, on the night of the 25th we have The Athlone Film Festival screening event! We have eight brilliant short films for you this year from across Ireland and abroad. The most films we've ever had in the screening! So to compensate we are going to have a short intermission in the middle, a slightly shorter panel discussion at the end, and no audience QnA this year. However, tea's and coffee's are served at the end and the audience are encouraged to stay and ask questions during that time. It'll all take place in the Athlone IMC cinema and you can book your seat here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/the-athlone-film-festival-2026-tickets-1986352226982?utm-campaign=social&utm-content=attendeeshare&utm-medium=discovery&utm-term=listing&utm-source=cp&aff=ebdsshcopyurl
