Speaking about this year’s lineup, Director of Programming, Maeve McGrath noted that; “This has been a wonderful year for watching films while programming for the Fleadh. The film programme has films from 39 countries featuring world and Irish premieres. We are introducing new sections with a focus on Architecture on Film, Defender and The Artist On Film alongside our favourite sections such as Irish Cinema, World Cinema, Peripheral Visions, Generation and What The Fleadh?!

With the 35th edition of the festival in July, we are keen to look back at films that have shaped the Galway Film Fleadh over the years while also focusing on the themes that current film makers are shaping into stories for the screen. Stories of lost love, the environment, war, coming of age, fighting for freedom, artists and their lives and work, the architecture that surrounds us and the music we listen to, all feature in the 2023 programme.”
