The Festival which begins on Sunday, October 8th will run until Sunday October 15th. Over 110 films are set to feature at the Film Festival this year as well as providing workshops, talks and training opportunities to emerging and aspiring filmmakers to advance their work.
Eliza Hittman's Sundance award-winning film, "Beach Rats", will open the festival on the 8th of October. Hittman is a festival favorite, as she screened the Irish premiere of her first film, "It Felt Like Love" during the first edition in 2013.
Mick Hannigan, Co-Director of IndieCork:
“I can say hand on heart; I am most excited about this festival. This year is a huge step forward for us, we have award winners from Berlin, Sundance and a whole bunch of other festivals, and it really shows in the quality of the work.”
Una Feely, Co-Director of IndieCork:
“IndieCork set out to focus on the independent sector and little did we know at the time just how vibrant and worthy of a festival independent production is. IndieCork has carved its niche and makes an important contribution to the Irish festival scene.”
This year’s Visegrad Festival brings film lovers the best of Hungarian, Polish, Slovakian and the Czech independent film, several of which have won major international awards.
Cormac Daly, IndieCork’s Music Programmer:
“The ethos of the festival – or that I’ve come to learn – is shedding light on the amazing artists that are in the community and promoting them, we have a really diverse set of acts, and if you come to it with an open mind, then you’ll get something out of every aspect of it.”
