Films of Note, the Dublin Music Film Festival, comes to the Sugar Club this July, with a superb line-up of iconic movies.

The Dublin Music Film Festival invites you to join them in a month long celebration of music films, starting this July. On the programme they have documentaries, live concerts, biopics and some uncategorisable marvels.

There will be some old classics, new favourites, and a few films that deserve a wider audience. With pop, hip-hop, rock, punk, R&B, jazz and soul all on the bill, there is something to suit everyone.
