This year the Irish Film Festival is celebrating 10 years of showcasing the very best of Irish cinema to Australian audiences. To complement our robust cinema program, we have curated an online festival to enable access from all over Australia.
The 2024 online festival showcases a total of 9 films and documentaries from Ireland. The twin focus of this year’s festival is music and women’s issues, including domestic violence and abuse. This year’s online program features an eclectic mix of dramas and thought-provoking documentaries. Three of the films are available online exclusively. Don’t miss the opportunity to view these engaging and provocative films from the comfort of your sofa!
