IFI Documentary Festival (formerly known as Stranger Than Fiction) has been expanded to five days and will take place between September 23-27th 2015.
The IFI are now accepting entries of Irish feature-length documentaries (over 60-minutes) and Irish and international short documentaries (under 20 minutes). International features are programmed on an invitation-only basis and no entries in this category will be accepted. Submission deadline is 6pm June 24th 2015.
All Irish feature-length entries must be Dublin premieres. For short documentaries, premiere status is not required but preference will be given to shorts which are Dublin premieres. Films that have been broadcast on Irish television or on a channel available to Irish television audiences should not be entered and will not be considered. There is no entry fee.
