The world premiere of three much anticipated Irish films will take place at the Telluride Film Festival in Colorado this weekend.

Feature films Viva and Room, along with Ken Wardrop's feature documentary Mom and Me, are all screening in front of an audience for the first time.

Viva is directed by Paddy Breathnach (Shrooms), and written by Mark O'Halloran (Adam & Paul), and was mostly shot in Havana.

Room, meanwhile, is the eagerly anticipated adaptation of Emma Donoghue's hit novel, from director Lenny Abrahamson. It premiered last night, with the cast lead by Brie Larson:

Irish films account for three of only 27 films listed in the exclusive festival's main programme for this year. 

All three of the films were supported by the Irish Film Board.
