AFI Silver is excited to host the 16th-annual Capital Irish Film Festival (CIFF), co-presented with Solas Nua. Celebrating Irish identity, culture and artistry, CIFF's lineup brings the best in contemporary Irish cinema to the Washington, DC, area.

Closing Night: WHERE'S THE CRAIC? plus Q&A with filmmaker Lauren Hakulinen

Why do so many people in Ireland play music so well? Perhaps it's the land itself that gives creative inspiration to all born there and to those who come to stay. Perhaps it's something intrinsic in the culture that gives rise to this remarkable gift. The spirit of the place is such that the people express a tremendous joy of living and creating and are always on a quest for music and entertainment. WHERE'S THE CRAIC? is a music-filled exploration of Ireland's diverse and vibrant music scene, and a look at why Sligo — a small town of 20,000 people in the north of Ireland — has many more live music pubs than anywhere else in the country. NOT RATED
