The Lightkeeper premiered at the Dublin International Film Festival. 

Filmed in the Inishowen Peninsula, the film takes in Culdaff and Malin Head, showing off a rugged coastline. 

The Lightkeeper - which was originally developed under the name Cry From the Sea - follows a lighthouse keeper navigating isolation, legend and unexpected change. Dominic Cooper, Sarah Bolger, and Aidan Quinn star in the film and recently appeared on The Late Late Show.
