Each year, the Festival Awards champion excellence in filmmaking across the programme, including shorts, features, documentaries and new work from emerging artists and creatives. Previous winners include Colm Bairéad (An Cailín Ciúin), Luke McManus (North Circular), Cara Holmes (Welcome to a Bright White Limbo) and TJ O’Grady-Peyton (Room Taken).
The DIFF Awards offer recognition for every type of film and every kind of filmmaker, at any stage of their career. They include:
• Discovery Awards
• Short Film Awards
• Documentary Award
• ICCL Human Rights Film Award • Avolon World Cinema Award
Our Awards Ceremony is open to the public, so you too can be part of this prestigious annual event.
As part of the celebration, some of Ireland’s most exciting emerging filmmakers will engage in a live discussion about their work. Sign up to our mailing list at www.diff.ie to get programme announcements as they happen.
Limited tickets available.
This year’s awards are kindly provided by Waterford Crystal.
