Dublin and online in one programme
The 14th Silk Road International Film Festival has published its 9–15 November programme. Trinity College Dublin screenings are joined by a Silk Road ON DEMAND selection available in Ireland. Cyrus Neshvad's CHILD, Luxembourg's submission for the 99th Academy Awards, opens with its Irish premiere.
The week includes Irish premieres, international and new Irish shorts, and a free masterclass by BAFTA- and IFTA-winning production designer Anna Rackard. The programme was selected from more than 200 submissions.
Hungarian connection
The online selection includes Rafael Kapelinski's partly Hungarian-language Budapest Diaries, set in December 1981. The festival lists it only within the Ireland-available online offer; we do not claim access in Hungary.
Reader and business angle
The hybrid, territory-controlled model expands international reach while respecting rights. Distribution, education and institutional partnerships can grow around the masterclass, premieres and the Dublin–Shanghai link.
Summary
The 14th Silk Road International Film Festival runs 9–15 November 2026 at Trinity College Dublin and online in Ireland; Budapest Diaries is included.
