About
The Fingal Film Festival was launched in 2012. The festival offers a platform encouraging and promoting the work of the local film community and helps both national and international emerging filmmakers to showcase their work in an environment where they have access to experienced industry professionals.
The festival provides workshops, training programmes and screenings of independent films from new emerging filmmakers, both nationally and internationally throughout the annual event.
At least 15% of our festival schedule is dedicated to foreign films and 10% to Irish language films (Scannáin na Gaeilge). This broadens the film culture experience to all who attend. The Fingal Film Festival is a team of people who work effortlessly to deliver a quality service to emerging filmmakers.
