	RecommendedThe WindKillruddery House, Dublin @ 20:00 Film • Information	Mar 14, 2010 €15
	This event is part of the Killruddery Film festival.
With live musical accompaniment by Stephen Horne. They said: "Put simply this is one of the most ambitious and well realised silent films ever made. This, our closing film of this year’s festival, is another Sjostrom classic, hugely ambitious in its execution, with a visual poetry rarely seen again on screen. The film stars the great Lillian Gish who specifically chose Sjostrom for the project. The film is certainly one of the highlights of the programme, it is enormously difficult to see and should not be missed, I recommend booking early."

	Between Metaphor and Object: Art of the 90s from the IMMA CollectionIrish Museum of Modern Art, Dublin @ 12:00 Art • Information	Mar 14, 2010 €0
Between Metaphor and Object features a range of works from the IMMA Collection, primarily sculptures and installation works from the 1990s. It provides perspectives on the diversity of practice that is represented in the IMMA Collection from this period, explores its particularities, and considers them in the context of international trends of the decade. The title of the exhibition references perceived polarities in art since the 1960s and also proposes the idea of the continuous flux visited upon artworks in the mind of the viewer between symbolism and objecthood. Notably the exhibition incorporates a number of pieces from the Weltkunst Collection, which is on loan to IMMA since 1994. This significant collection of British sculpture and drawings of the 1980s and ‘90s will return to the Weltkunst Foundation in 2010 and the exhibition acknowledges the generous loan of these works.

	BudawannyKillruddery House, Dublin @ 16:00 Film • Information	Mar 14, 2010 €15
	This event is part of the Killruddery Film festival.
Followed by live performance by Roger Doyle. They say: "Budawanny is a contemporary silent film, made in 1987 and acknowledged by many as perhaps Bob Quinn’s greatest achievement. This fascinating and rarely seen film tells the story of a young priest, played by the great Donal Mc Cann, who becomes romantically entangled with his housekeeper. Quinn’s employment of silent film techniques and Roger Doyle’s beautiful score combine to transform what in other hands would be a formal exercise into a captivating masterpiece."

	Dancehall StylesButton Factory, Dublin @ 23:00 Reggae	Mar 14, 2010 €5

	Dieudonne (1)Laughter Lounge, Dublin @ 16:30 Monologue • Information	Mar 14, 2010 €25 Buy Tickets
After the enormous box-office success of his last show, “Patrick’s Divorce”, the comedian DIEUDONNÉ returns with his newest stage show “Sandrine”. This deals with the theme of marital violence. Patrick has become a wounded animal, unable to accept the break-up with Sandrine. He drifts into a hellish downward spiral of hatred and violence, leading to a lawsuit which is the subject of this comedy. The contrast between the austere courtroom setting with its solemn conventions and the humorous scenes taking place in it sets up a tension that helps to reveal Patrick’s character and his humanity. The courtroom setting makes it possible for DIEUDONNÉ to present us with a rogues’ gallery of interesting and humourous characters. Among them are an African lawyer who overclaims extravagantly, a misogynist Chinese doctor and a priest who preaches the joys of abstinence! The issues touched on, while sensitive, are more social than political on this occasion. The world DIEUDONNÉ portrays here represents a return to his earlier apolitical comedic roots.

	Dinosaur EncounterAmbassador Theatre, Dublin @ 10:00 Exhibition • Information	Mar 14, 2010 €10
Nobody has ever seen a living dinosaur, but scientists can give us a good idea of what they looked like and how they moved. We often imagine dinosaurs as colossal flesh-eating beasts that lived on our planet for an incredible 160 million years. Some were indeed gigantic, but many were only as heavy as a Labrador dog and many were vegetarian! Did you know that the Ornithomimus could run faster than an Olympic sprinter? See how the sociable Triceratops lived in herds, caring for and protecting their young. Meet Dilophosaurus, a relative of the first dinosaur found in Scotland. Come face to face with the mighty Tyrannosaurus rex, one of the fiercest land predators ever known. This massive animatronic model, 4 metres tall and 7 metres long, is so lifelike you’ll think it’s the real thing! Walk past the head of a hungry Tyrannosaurus and watch as his terrifying jaws go SNAP!

	Ingeborg HolmKillruddery House, Dublin @ 14:15 Film • Information	Mar 14, 2010 €15
	This event is part of the Killruddery Film festival.
With live musical accompaniment by Stephen Horne. They say: "This film by a great Swedish master, who here acts and directs, is an epic masterpiece, beautifully realised and stunning in its sophistication, particularly considering its 1913 production date. The film set in motion what has now become known as 'the first golden age' of Swedish cinema and tells the often heartbreaking story of a widowed woman seperated from her children by an unjust social system, a complex psychological drama, made shortly after the first arrival of the feature film. Bergman himself, described it as "one of the most remarkable films ever made". The film was selected for the programme and will be introduced by the celebrated film writer Charles Barr."

	The PatsyKillruddery House, Dublin @ 18:00 Film • Information	Mar 14, 2010 €15
	This event is part of the Killruddery Film festival.
With live musical accompaniment by Josh Johnston. Presented by Kevin Brownlow, they say: "A wonderfully witty silent film by one of the great masters of American cinema. It stars Marion Davies, a natural comedienne who was rarely allowed to do comedy by her controlling husband William Randolph Hearst (a relationship later parodied in Orson Welles’ Citizen Kane). The film is a real delight, brimming with smarts and full of memorable one-liners that will stick in your head long after you have left the cinema."

	Torchlight + Capture + Black SwanWhelans, Dublin	Mar 14, 2010

	What Happens Next Is A SecretIrish Museum of Modern Art, Dublin @ 12:00 Art • Information	Mar 14, 2010 Free Event
This is an experimental exhibition which attempts to addresses the question of what happens when artworks become part of a collection and are subsequently shown in many different contexts. Working from a potential list of works, the artworks will be changed during the course of the exhibition, with removal of artworks generating absences which call to mind gaps in our memory and point to the partially hidden nature of Museum collections. Additions of works will draw out new and perhaps unexpected associations, and new narratives will emerge within the overall structure of the exhibition. Other strategies such as repositioning works within the exhibition will be used to alter the pace of the exhibition. A list of these potential works will not be disclosed in advance.
