This year is, without a doubt, a banner year for Irish film and, alongside the usual mix of the best in world cinema and documentaries, the Galway Film Fleadh is proud to host an unprecedented number of new Irish films, including a whopping 13 world premieres, 7 European premieres and 7 Irish premieres. Between our opening film Grabbers, a wonderfully comedic Irish take on the monster genre, and our closing film Shadow Dancer, a tense thriller about a mother’s divided loyalties during the Troubles, you’ll find a rich spectrum of all cinema has to offer, and all blended through a uniquely Irish sensibility.
