A Northern Ireland Film Festival, organised by the Ulster American Society, will screen twenty films that have been made in Northern Ireland over the past five years at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia on 7 - 8 November.
The Ulster American Society aims to showcase positive, forward-looking films made in or about Northern Ireland to raise American awareness of today's Northern Ireland, to help rediscover the blend of Irish and Scots-Irish cultures and to promote increased American tourism, trade, and investment in Northern Ireland.
