The 2012 Bealtaine Festival, which seeks to celebrate "creativity as we age", has announced a series of film screenings to be carried out in cooperation with our friends at Access Cinema. The movies in this year's season are Last Chance Harvey, in which Dustin Hoffman chats up Emma Thompson; My House in Umbria, featuring the indomitable Maggie Smith; and one of the most poetic of all musicals, Vincente Minnelli's An American in Paris. The season kicks off at the Irish Film Institute on May 2nd and then moves on to such locations as Cabra Library, the Bluebell Community Centre in Dublin 12 and the Seamus Ennis Cultural Centre in Naul.
