CFCP CINEMA has been set up as a totally open-access initiative - we have no selection process and no censorship.  We show what we're given and let the audience make up their minds.  All we want is to celebrate the diversity of the moving image and share it with our audiences. The lack of pre-selection induces a greater element of chance and a possibility for the utmost variety.

CFCP CINEMA shows take place once per month on the second Monday of each month. We aim to show ALL kind of films and videos at each show. The shows will be 2.5 hours long with a short break.  We will provide a relaxing informal atmosphere, big screen, good sound, tea & coffee and you are more than welcome to bring your own refreshments with you. We will introduce the films and the film makers are encouraged to answer questions on their films if they so wish. We keep the entrance price as low as we can - €5 for members & €7.50 for non members - we still have to pay the rent.

Hi in July!

Hope you are all enjoying as much as we are the longest and warmest days of the year!!

At CFCP we are kicking off the second part of the year with the opening of two exhibitions “I like boring things” and “Chasing Shadows” as a part of the first edition of the PhotoIreland Festival, on till the 11th July and taking part in 35 venues all over Dublin. We are happy to be one of them!!! 

Also under the umbrella of PhotoIreland Festival we will be presenting a photography workshop investigating the expressive possibilities of the Cyanotype and Van Dyke processes by Ian Mitton and a talk by Hugh McElveen – “Creating the Perfect Print”.

 “Shooting from the Lip” - a poetry evening with Karl Parkinson and his spoken word artists and poets followed by readings by Nell McCafferty, Katie Donovan, Mike McCormack and Chris Agee later in July makes this month’s programme an interesting dialog between the captured images and the fictional or nonfictional descriptions.

Our musical highlight of the month is an improvised concert by Kwadrofonik presenting their fresh, sensual and courageous dialog between pianos & percussions - a musical feast & unforgettable theatrical spectacle.  Please note that this event due to a high demand will take place in the Banquet Hall @ Smock Alley and not in CFCP.

Back in our space we will host another exceptional concert/happening by David Bremner and his Improvised Music Theatre Band “The Open Rehearsal”. Book asap as it will be packed!!!

Our highly popular weekly Jazz Jam Session –is open to everybody who likes to play or to listen.

Two exhibitions, one by 10-12 artists “Transformers” drawing, painting, photography and mixed media, is a series of snapshots of the artists’ everyday journeys and tales and the second by Pierre Godet “One line” presenting his synthesis of two major POP artist "Andy Warhol" and "Keith Haring" will be two very different and very appealing shows by the Dublin’s young artistic souls.  

Before and after every event our patio area is an open and quiet place to relax on the bean bags enjoying a cup of tea or you own drinks you can bring with you.

Hopefully see you soon!
