Director Ken Loach's Jimmy's Hall, which was filmed in counties Sligo and Leitrim, is to receive its Los Angeles premiere at the Los Angeles Film Festival next month.
The film, which was released in Ireland last year, will screen in the Buzz section of the festival, which showcases "celebrated favourites from around the world".
The festival runs from June 10-18.
Written by Paul Laverty (Looking for Eric, The Wind That Shakes the Barley), and starring Barry Ward, Simone Kirby, Jim Norton, Brían F O'Byrne and Andrew Scott, Jimmy's Hall is "freely inspired" by the real-life story of Irish communist Jimmy Gralton (Ward).
His 'sin' in 1921 "was to build a dance hall on a rural crossroads in Ireland where young people could come to learn, to argue, to dream... but above all to dance and have fun".
The film takes place in 1932, when Jimmy returns to Ireland from New York and re-opens the hall.
Irish company Element Pictures was among the producers of Jimmy's Hall, which was part-financed by Bord Scannán na hÉireann/the Irish Film Board.
