Cork festival on for November

After several decades in a mid-October slot, the Cork Film Festival is moving to new dates from this year, when it will run from November 1st to 8th.
"The September-October period of the global film festival calendar has become congested in recent years, and vying for films about to be premiered in Locarno, Toronto and London has become increasingly difficult," says festival director Mick Hannigan. "Moving to November will allow us to programme with more freedom. We believe the November dates will be attractive to both the national film community and to the festival's large and loyal local audience."
