I’m also thrilled that we were able to find someone of the calibre of Sarah Sharkey as Managing Director to work with Gráinne Humphreys, the Festival Director on delivering this world-class international film festival. Sarah has done tremendous work for the festival as Sponsorship Manager and brings significant senior experience from both the cultural and corporate world.”

Sarah Sharkey:
"The Audi Dublin International Film Festival is an important part of the international festival calendar and its commitment to Irish film and Irish audiences is inspiring. I'm delighted to be working with such a talented team and with our title sponsor Audi Ireland. New technology means that the nature of storytelling is changing and Audi reflects the passion and innovation that is driving the next generation of filmmakers.”

Mark O’Halloran:
“I am delighted to be joining the ADIFF board. ADIFF is a vital part of the city's cultural infrastructure and being asked to serve on the board is a real honour."
