Acclaimed Swedish actor Stellan Skarsgård from hit movies Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and Good Will Hunting, kicked off the celebrations at the programme launch of the 10th anniversary edition of the Jameson Dublin International Film Festival. Skarsgård was joined at the event by Amy Huberman, who is in the Irish feature film Stella Days, and voices some of the animation in Death of a Superhero, both of which will be screened as Gala Screenings at this year’s festival.

The 10th anniversary of the festival was marked with a party held in the newly re-opened Light House Cinema, with music by Dublin band The Minutes and DJ Laura Lee Conboy.

Highlights of the 2012 programme were revealed on the night, with special guests confirmed to attend the Festival in February including Al Pacino (Wilde Salomé), Glenn Close (Albert Nobbs), Mark Wahlberg (Contraband), Martin Sheen (Stella Days), Michael Madsen (Jameson Cult Film Club screening of Resevoir Dogs), Kenneth Lonergan (Margaret), Whit Stillman (Damsels in Distress), Marjane Satrapi (Chicken With Plums) and Agnieszka Holland (In Darkness).
