Many months ago, we began early conversations as to what shape and form the next edition of Subtitle could possibly take. Neither of us wanted to go another year without marking the festival in some way, having just experienced an autumn that felt longer than usual for that very reason. Conscious of how changeable the domestic situation in Ireland was, and continues to be, we decided to try and find a place which could go some way to emulate the intimacy of what Kilkenny gives. Not to replace it, but somewhere new to put a focus on, and where inspiring people could meet together once again.
In Odesa, we feel we’ve found that and more. This is a unique and very special place, as you’ll hopefully discover over the next few days.
With Subtitle Odesa, we are pushing the boundary out from what we usual do, and we are thrilled that you have travelled here to join us in doing so.
