Over the past two decades the Dublin International Film Festival has become Ireland's premier film event, screening more than 1,600 international films from over 52 countries.
It has also hosted many distinguished guests from the likes of Al Pacino to Daniel Day-Lewis. This year’s guests include Isabelle Huppert, Steve McQueen, Jared Harris, Kevin Macdonald and Maxine Peake.
The festival returns this week, running from February 22nd to March 2nd - it opens with Twig, a reimagining of the Greek tragedy Antigone, set in Dublin’s modern gangland and featuring rising star Sade Malone.
The director of Twig, Marian Quinn, joined Sean Rocks in studio for RTÉ Arena - listen above, and listen to more from RTÉ Arena here.
