by · June 2, 2015

You may remember that in October of last year, we posted some set pictures from Evanna Lynch’s (Luna Lovegood) latest film, My Name is Emily. Well, now the film is finished and ready to be released! In case you need a reminder of what the film is about, you can catch up here.

Today, it was announced that the film would open this year’s Galway Film Fleadh in Ireland. The premiere of the film will open this year’s festival, which will take place July 7-12. The Galway Film Fleadh is Ireland’s No. 1 film festival and will be celebrating its 27th year. The premiere for the film will take place on July 7 at 7:30 p.m. BST, with cast and crew members in attendance.

Evanna stars alongside George Webster, and the film has been directed by Simon Fitzmaurice. On this honor, Simon said,

I’m deeply honoured that [t]he Galway Film Fleadh has invited My Name is Emily to open the festival.  Everyone involved with the making of this film has worked so hard, and I cannot think of a better reward and a better place for our film’s world premiere.
