PICTUREHOUSE

Making Cinema Accessible To Communities

It is supported by wonderful Oscar-winning actress, Brenda Fricker.

The Picturehouse outreach programme needs support to continue reaching marginalised audiences in 2023. With the help of sponsorship, Picturehouse will continue to bring the festival magic to the communities by working with five centres around the city.

Picturehouse is one of the hidden gems of the festival and brings art and vitality to spaces and audiences outside of city life.

A celebration of creativity and participation, it is one of the highlights of DIFF since it was started in 2012 primarily focusing on older audiences.

“Picturehouse is hands down one of the brightest things about this festival. I’ve seen it make the people we bring it to laugh, cry and remember. I am complimented to be a close part of something that is so vital to a marginalised segment of our society.”

Our warm thanks to the dedicated outgoing Chair, Aidan Greene, under whose leadership the festival successfully navigated many challenges, including interruptions in various years due to both snow and the pandemic.

However, it is to you, our audiences that our most heartfelt thanks are due. I look forward to meeting as many of you as possible during the next 10 magical days.
