We wrapped Bloomsday Film Festival 2026 with a screening of Deirdre Mulrooney's new short 'The Clouds are not Inaccessible' / 'Les Nuages ne sont pas Inaccessible' at the Irish Film Institute (IFI) on Bloomsday and what a wonderful way to close off a week of Joycean events! 💖

Based on an unknown 1932 text by avant-garde artist Lucia Joyce, the film stars Evanna Lynch and Darina Gallagher.

It was followed by a presentation of René Clair’s 1924 film “Entr’act”

Thanks to Katy Hayes for hosting the Q&A with director Deirdre Mulrooney.

Thanks also to Evan Hanley our volunteer and Marcelline Roulleau for her stunning photographs 💖

This year, Colm O’Regan hosted the show, it featured a cast of noted Irish writers, actors, musicians, pundits, and everyone in between, reading extracts from Ulysses. Together, they brought Joyce’s unforgettable prose to life—from the vivid depiction of Dublin’s “snotgreen sea” to Molly Bloom’s famous “yes”, delivered this year by award-winning visionary artist FELISPEAKS.
