Louth Film Club to host documentary festival at Playhouse Cinema

MOVE over Cannes, Venice, Berlin and London – the red carpet will be rolled out in Louth for its very own film festival next week.

Louth Film Club is hosting a documentary film festival at the Playhouse Cinema, running for four nights from Monday, September 17 to Thursday 20.

PROJECT NIM: A documentary about a young chimpanzee will be shown as part of Louth Film CLub's documentary festival.
