Welcome,
The Galway Film Fleadh, a six day international film event held every July, welcomes a mad diversity of filmmaking from around the world. The Fleadh is very much a filmmakers' festival, and attracts directors, actors, cinematographers and artists of all generations and cultural backgrounds, who present their work before their peers. Founded twenty years ago, the central goal of the Galway Film Fleadh remains unchanged: to bring together audiences and filmmakers within an intimate environment, and share a common experience – the wonder of cinema. The Fleadh’s diverse audience is made up of the general cinema going public, film buffs, student filmmakers, industry professionals and invited guests.
Guests have included: Jeremy Irons, Volker Schloendorff, Kathy Bates, Paul Schrader, Robert Towne, John Lynch, Luis Mandoki, Campbell Scott, Patricia Clarkson, Matt Dillon, Stephen Frears, Maureen O’Hara, Anthony Minghella, Agnieszka Holland, Gillo Pontecorvo, Aidan Quinn, Rutger Hauer, Arthur Penn, Gabriel Byrne, Donal McCann, Istvan Szabo, Pierce Brosnan, Michael Winterbottom, Ed Pressman, Woody Harrelson, Abbas Kiarostami, Mira Nair, Sir Richard Attenborough, Paolo Taviani, Michael Moore, Oliver Reed, Jim Sheridan and Neil Jordan to name but a few.
In addition to its celebrated programme of the best in world cinema the Fleadh also offers:
• Masterclasses • Public Interviews • Debates • Workshops • Seminars

| Thank You! The Galway Film Fleadh is now approaching its 20th year. The 19th was the most successful yet, with our largest audience to date. The Galway Film Fleadh would not be a success without a huge amount of help and support – a massive thank you goes out to all our sponsors, filmmakers, distributors, volunteers, supporters, the Galway people for making our guests so welcome and of course you, our audience, without whom… Look forward to seeing you in July. |
