The splendid Cinemobile has long been an essential part of the Galway Film Fleadh. The magic bus that converts into a cosy movie theatre celebrated its 10th anniversary yesterday with a party at the Rowing Club.

Brendan Gleeson was special guest at an event that welcomed the “Cinemobile Peoples” of Europe. “It’s a labour of love really,” said manager Noreen Collins: “Working with Cinemobile isn’t just a nine-to-five job. It’s run from the passion we all have for film and the passion we have for supporting small rural communities.” Long may it trundle.
