Galway Film Fleadh is Ireland’s leading film event, a six-day international film festival taking place every July on the edge of Europe in the West Coast of Ireland. ‘Fleadh’ is the Irish word for a feast or a celebration, and like Galway itself, our festival is compact, bohemian, informal and fun. Galway Film Fleadh brings luminaries of the craft and everyday cinephiles together to share in the wonder of cinema.

Founded in 1989, as an opportunity for Irish filmmakers to exhibit their work to their peers, the central goal of the Galway Film Fleadh remains unchanged: to be a platform for the boldest new films, and to bring audiences and filmmakers from around the world together to share in the wonder of cinema. Annually, screening between 80 – 100 feature films and up to 100 short films, the Fleadh welcomes an exciting diversity of filmmaking from around the world, all generations and cultural backgrounds.
