The Department of Theatre is undertaking a rigorous exercise with external health and safety consultants to identify the kinds of teaching we will be able to deliver next year in each module. Because of the particular needs of Theatre, we are taking some time to work through these issues in order to give you the *best learning experience possible* while *keeping you as safe as possible*. 

Following on from last year's inaugural Ireland Wildlife Film Festival, which was organised by Mr. Carter McCormick, filmmaker and PhD candidate in the Department of Film and Screen Media and by filmmaker Ms. Paula Sprenger, we are delighted to announce the lineup for this year's online event.  The Festival will showcase an incredible array of films from around the world, directed by some of the leading practitioners in wildlife filmmaking and featuring a dazzling variety of animals!
