Welcome to the Roscommon International Film Festival, a thrilling celebration of cinematic talent in front of and behind the camera.
Based in the breathtaking heartlands of County Roscommon, Ireland, this event - now in its second year - sets the stage for emerging filmmakers and screenwriters to showcase their creativity on a global platform in October 2024. Open to submissions from all corners of the world, our contest welcomes short and feature-length films as well as screenplays of diverse genres, be they drama, thriller, comedy, horror, or any captivating narrative that captures the imagination. Our primary goal is to discover and promote exceptional talent, searching for those hidden gems that possess the power to captivate audiences and leave an indelible mark on the world of cinema.
Every submission to our contest is highly valued. As a testament to our dedication to nurturing talent, our panel of judges will provide detailed feedback on each entry, offering constructive insights and guidance to help refine their skills and craft. With an unwavering commitment to supporting Irish talent, we have reserved a special category for entries originating from Ireland. We believe in the richness of Irish storytelling and are passionate about providing a platform for local creatives to shine brightly among their global peers.
Selected films will have the opportunity to be screened at our festival on 5 October 2024 at the Roscommon Arts Centre. Trophies will be awarded across eight categories and feedback is provided on every entry received. This contest continues an extraordinary journey. Building upon the initial success of our online festival, we are delighted to now host a physical film festival in 2024, fostering a vibrant atmosphere for networking, collaboration, and the celebration of cinematic artistry.
