Now that all the St. Patrick's Day hoopla is over, we can take a look at what's really up in the Ould Sod. Films featured in the 12th Annual Irish Film Festival include Darragh Byrne's Parked, in which an Irish guy (Colm Meaney) returns home to find that he has nowhere to live but his car. Also timely is Risteard Ó Domhnaill's The Pipe, a documentary about a village's quixotic battle against Big Oil. What ever happened to the luck of the Irish? Two venues: Stuart Street Playhouse, 200 Stuart St, Boston; Somerville Theatre, 55 Davis Square, Somerville | March 24-27 | $9-$12 individual tickets; $75 festival pass | 617.359.6462 or irishfilmfestival.com.
