In 2022, a MovieMaker magazine panel of U.S. filmmakers, critics and industry executives included the Galway Film Fleadh on its list of the "50 Film Festivals Worth the Entry Fee".[2]
Backgroundedit
The festival was founded in 1989,[3] as part of the Galway Arts Festival and was held at the Claddagh Palace until that venue closed in 1995.[4] The festival has become known as a venue for the premiere of domestic Irish films, but as an international festival, it also exhibits foreign film works.[5][6]
The festival includes the Galway Film Fair, a focused film market which allows filmmakers with projects in development to meet with a large number of potential producers, financiers, and distributors.[7]
In 2006 the Galway Film Fleadh was the site of the first screening of John Carney's film Once.[7]
Since 1995 the Fleadh has also conducted the Junior Film Fleadh, held in November and oriented to youth films and student audiences.[4][8]
