Brendan Gleeson
Irish actor Brendan Gleeson is among the special guests at the Foyle Film Festival, which opens today.

After the screening of his hilarious film The Guard at Strand Road Omniplex on Saturday, Gleeson will be available for a question and answer session.
Also appearing on Saturday is acclaimed Belfast-born writer Terry George, famous for socially aware films such as Hotel Rwanda, In The Name Of The Father and Some Mother's Son.
