Aidan Quinn said he is "thrilled" to be attending the 20th anniversary celebration screening of Michael Collins during the Audi Dublin International Film Festival.

The 56-year-old actor, who played Harry Boland in Neil Jordan’s 1996-released film charting Ireland’s struggle for independence, said it was an "absolute privilege" working on the movie alongside Liam Neeson and the late Alan Rickman.

"I'm thrilled to be a part of honoring this remarkable film,” he said. “It was an absolute privilege to work on and with, this extraordinary group and remains one of my favorite film making experiences."

The film will have its 20th Anniversary Premiere on Saturday, February 20 at The Savoy Cinema on O’Connell Street, and will also be attended by Neil Jordan and cinematographer Chris Menges, followed by an on stage Q&A hosted by Harry McGee. The celebration will also be attended by some of the extras who took part in the film.
