GALWAY FILM FLEADH
NAMED ONE OF MOVIEMAKER MAGAZINE’S
50 FILM FESTIVALS WORTH THE ENTRY FEE OF 2023
MovieMaker today announced that us at Galway Film Fleadh have been named to its annual list of 50 Film Festivals Worth the Entry Fee, celebrating festivals that serve moviemakers and audiences in some of the best destinations in the world.
MovieMaker, a film magazine and website based in Los Angeles, compiles its annual list based on surveys, filmmaker testimonials, and visits to festivals, among other factors. Key considerations include how much assistance a festival provides to traveling filmmakers; recent premieres at the festival; opportunities to meet distributors, fans, fellow filmmakers and press; and whether festivals are Academy-qualifying.
“With the film world in a state of constant change in recent years, festivals are more important than ever to help audiences and distributors find new films, and to remind all of us why we devote so much of our lives to making and loving movies,” said MovieMaker editor Tim Molloy. “The festivals on this list work incredibly hard to make it feel effortless.”
Speaking about the Fleadh, MovieMaker noted that,
“It champions and nurtures filmmakers in a relaxed environment, in a town that feels dreamy and timeless. With an inviting, not-insurmountable submission-to-acceptance ratio, it gives accepted filmmakers one of the best opportunities anywhere to impress European and international distributors and other decision-makers……”
Galway Film Fleadh’s Head Of Programming, Maeve McGrath on the announcement, noted that,
“We are delighted to be included on this very prestigious list. The film festival journey is important for filmmakers and the Fleadh continues to support filmmakers with screening their films and encouraging networking and distribution opportunities.”
