Ross Keane, IFI Director, said: "Throughout the month of September, the IFI's 20th anniversary celebrations of its home here in Temple Bar have been all about the audiences who engage with our extensive programme and activities. So what better way to thank our audiences than by opening the doors of Eustace Street for two full days of free screenings for all?
"The films selected will show the full breadth of the IFI's programming, and we hope we'll see lots of new faces, alongside some of our most loyal patrons, over the course of the two days."
