Landscapes and cinematography are the themes of this summer's season of free open-air screenings, Ocean Movies on the Square, which runs weekly on Saturdays from tonight when I Went Down, starring Brendan Gleeson (right) and Peter McDonald, will be shown, to September 2nd, when The Buena Vista Social Club closes the season.

The very attractive line-up also promises such gems as The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, Big Wednesday, La Strada, North by Northwest, Cold Fever, Thelma & Louise, Fargo, Days of Heaven, Like Water For Chocolate and William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet.

Each feature will be preceded by a recent Irish short film. All screenings are subject to the vagaries of the Irish summer weather, of course.

Free tickets are available in advance from Temple Bar Properties, 18 Eustace Street, Dublin 2.
