    About

    Discover film, reimagine the world.

    Cork International Film Festival is a local, national and international celebration of cinema. CIFF’s mission is to present Ireland’s most exciting, diverse, and ambitious annual film festival, connecting and stimulating audiences and artists through a carefully curated selection of the best films, to create a unique shared cultural experience, rooted in Cork, open to the world.

    The 68th edition will take place Thursday 9th – Sunday 19th November 2023.

     

     

    Festival Patron: Lord David Puttnam

    In October 2022, Cork International Film Festival was delighted to announced Lord David Puttnam as its Patron.

    Lord Puttnam spent 30 years as an independent producer of award-winning films including The Mission, The Killing Fields, Chariots of Fire, Midnight Express, Bugsy Malone, and Local Hero. He is the Chair of Atticus Education, an online education company founded in 2012 that delivers audio-visual seminars to students all over the world.

    We want to premiere your film! 

    Submissions for the 68th Cork International Film Festival are now open.

    Ireland’s first and largest film festival welcomes submissions of features and shorts, and all forms of film production from fiction to documentary, animation to experimental and more. We look for interesting new voices and work that pushes boundaries and takes risks and champion and celebrate emerging talent and excellence in filmmaking throughout our programme.

    Filmmakers: Our Irish Shorts late deadline is fast approaching – submit your film by Friday 4th August.
