With the catalogue of films available on IFI@Home growing steadily since the platform’s establishment, it was felt that new viewers might appreciate some tips on where to start, while viewers more familiar with the range of titles on offer may welcome recommendations of films they might not previously have considered. To this end, we have asked some of the guests we are fortunate enough to have had pass through our Eustace Street home to recommend five films that can be seen on the platform, according to their own personal tastes. We hope this will help viewers to find undiscovered gems.
Previous Fives of Others contributors include Donald Clarke, Sinéad O’Shea and Tanya Sweeney.
