SIR Kenneth Branagh's new movie, Belfast, will have its Irish premiere at this year’s Belfast Film Festival.
The semi-autobiographical drama is based on his experiences of growing up in the Tigers Bay area in the north of the city.
It stars Jamie Dornan, Caitriona Balfe, Ciaran Hinds and Dame Judi Dench, the movie will open on November 4.
Written and directed by the 60-year-old Harry Potter star, the film is described as a "personal and joyful story" set in late 1960s.
He will introduce the movie at a special event at the Belfast Film Festival, which will be attended by some of the film’s cast.
Sir Kenneth said: "I am fortunate to have attended film festivals throughout the world for this most personal of films, but it was always my hope that we might be invited to bring 'Belfast' home.
"To be included as a part of the Belfast Film Festival is a great honour for us.
"This year's festival is packed with local talent in all areas of the industry from acting and directing to producing, and shows the phenomenal strength of the film industry here."
Tickets for all Belfast Film Festival screenings and events, except ‘Belfast’, go on-sale today and tickets for ‘Belfast’ will go live on October 8 at 10am.
