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.
