30th Galway Film Fair opens Project Submissions
Applications are now open for the Co-Production Marketplace at the 2026 Galway Film Fair. Each year up to 50 projects are selected for the co-production marketplace in which filmmakers with projects in development are given the opportunity to meet with financiers, sales agents, distributors, broadcasters and major producers at the Galway Film Fair.
The Galway Film Fair is the industry market of the Galway Film Fleadh, Ireland’s leading international film festival. Uniquely positioned on the edge of Europe, the Galway Film Fair offers producers direct access to some of the world’s leading financiers, and connects the European and North American film industries for trans-Atlantic and cross-border collaborations.
Marketplace at Galway Film Fair
A €3000 development fund for the Best Marketplace Project is awarded annually by Bankside Films. There are also prizes for Best Documentary Project and projects that evidence audience appeal.
As well as the co-production market, the Galway Film Fair hosts seminars, masterclasses, pitching sessions, and industry networking events, making it a key hub for global film professionals.
