The Dublin International Film Festival is a not-for-profit organisation, bringing Irish audiences the very best in international and contemporary cinema each year. While it is supported by The Arts Council/An Chomhairle Ealaíon, it continues to rely on the generosity of donations to bring the world’s best films to Dublin; to foster new talent by providing learning opportunities for fledgling filmmakers; and to support the Festival’s outreach programmes: Screen8 First Frame, Older Critics, Young Programmers and Picture House.

Picture House
Since its inception in 2012, Picture House has delivered a cinematic experience to audiences who can’t easily access the big screen. DIFF organises screenings in a variety of settings from care homes and hospitals to addiction centres. Academy Award-winning actress Brenda Fricker is the patron of Picture House.

A donation of €25 will contribute to the cost of the rights to the next film screened as part of the Picture House programme.
Screen8
screen8 is a free after-school programme that gives young people from inner-city Dublin the chance to work together on a short film, mentored by award-winning industry personnel. Designed to give young people of all backgrounds the confidence and skills to pursue a career in the film industry, the programme was a tremendous success in its inaugural year, and we plan to expand the programme over the next few years.

A donation of €25 will make an invaluable contribution to the costs of running the programme in the coming year.
DIFF Volunteer Programme
Best way to find out about the Irish Film Industry.’ Literally 1000s of young people have taken their first steps on a career in film through the DIFF Volunteer Programme. The festival volunteers play a vital role in bringing the festival to life. They ensure safety and ease of access for our attendees.
DIFF Older Critics
We expanded our Young Critics programme by including an older group of participants to reflect the ethos of the festival. Last year, a small group of over 60's workshopped with journalist, editor and broadcaster Esther McCarthy and reviewed films in our programme that focused on older people. These reviews featured across the Diff.ie website.
