CIFF 2024: First Take and Doc Day Live among 2024 industry events
30 Oct 2024 : News Desk
Cork International Film Festival
Ahead of festival proceeding kicking off next month, Cork International Film Festival has confirmed a number of industry events due to take place at this year's Festival.

Supported by their Official Industry Partner Screen Ireland, CIFF will host several industry days with guest speakers and panels, alongside their film programme during the Festival in November, offering opportunities for established and emerging filmmakers to learn and connect. 

First Take will take place on Thursday, November 14th from 11:30am to 5:00pm in Triskel Arts Centre (registration from 11:00am). First Take provides training and development for emerging filmmaking talent and students, providing a unique opportunity for them to connect with leading industry professionals through case studies, panels and presentations.

Aislinn Clarke, director of Irish horror film Fréwaka, will participate, and there will be an in-depth profile of September Says by Ariane Labed, with its producer Lara Hickey, which world-premiered at Cannes Film Festival earlier this year. Both films will have their Irish premieres at CIFF and are shortlisted for the Best New Irish Feature Award.

First Take will include Spotlight, Fís Éireann/Screen Ireland’s flagship scheme for new screenwriters, with invited writers discussing their individual creative processes. There will also be a focus on neurodivergent voices within the sector, and a session exploring career opportunities in the Irish animation industry in collaboration with Women in Film & Television Ireland. A networking event, supported by National Talent Academies, will conclude First Take. 

Doc Day Live, the Festival’s focus on high-quality Irish and international documentary cinema on Friday November 15th, will have participation from leading European documentary curators from CPH:DOX and Locarno, with a focus on the EURODOC programme with its representative Alexia de Montalembert.

Doc Day will include film case studies: Chasing The Light (also shortlisted for the Best New Irish Feature Award), with director Maurice O’Brien and producer Clare Stronge speaking to Niamh Fagan, Project Manager, Screen Ireland; and The Making of a Japanese (which will have its Gala Screening following the event) with director Ema Ryan Yamazaki and producer Eric Nyari speaking to Ken Wardrop, Director/Producer, Venom Films.

A networking lunch supported by Creative Europe Desk Ireland will be provided, as well as a post-event reception. Both First Take and Doc Day post-event drinks receptions are sponsored by Murphy’s.

Continuing CIFF’s focus on high calibre Irish and international documentary features, Doc Day Online will present several online sessions, Friday, November 15th - Friday, December 13th.

Available free of charge and with in-depth discussions with leading filmmakers, Doc Day Online will include a career interview with Emer Reynolds, 2024 Arts Council Film Artist in Residence at UCC, whose multi-award-winning 2016 film The Farthest will screen at the Festival on Saturday, November 16th. 

Cork International Film Festival takes place from November 7th – 17th.
