Environmental theme for 2019 IOM Film Festival

Screenings taking place in run-up to September event

This year's Isle of Man Film Festival will have a green theme.

The ninth outing for the ever-popular event takes place between 4 and 8 September, but a number of intimate screenings are taking place around the Island in the months beforehand.

Co-founder of the festival Dave Armstrong says the organisers wanted to broaden the appeal of the fest and decided to give them a theme for the next few years  - starting with environment.
