• The Galway Film Fleadh.

Ireland's leading film festival, the Galway Film Fleadh, is now in it's 21st year. The Fleadh takes place every July and screens the best of New Irish, European and International features and documentaries as well as welcoming a host of filmmakers, International programmers and other industry delegates. It also platforms excellence in filmmaking with retrospectives, public interviews, tributes and masterclasses (Peter O'Toole, Jessica Lange, Kathy Bates, Robert Towne, Paul Schrader, Mira Nair, Patricia Clarkson, Abbas Kiarostami, Paolo Taviani and many more).

Alongside the Fleadh, the Galway Film Fair provides an invaluable transatlantic bridge for the European Film and Television industry. Last year we arranged over 600 one-on-one meetings for producers with international buyers, distributors, sales agents, film fund representatives and major producers alongside networking breakfasts, seminars, receptions, launches and other industry events.

Galway is a picturesque city by the sea with character and charm and our intimate setting is an added incentive for many to attend as is our reputation for creating an environment that is convivial and relaxed.

The Galway Film Fleadh accepts both Feature films and Documentary Feature films. Screening at an earlier film festival will not preclude selection, although priority will be given to European and World Premieres.

The Galway Film Fleadh is a not for profit organization. It is funded by the Arts Council of Ireland/An Chomhairle Ealaíon.
