The Irish Film Festival is Australia’s best source of innovative, quality film that showcases the culture, traditions, history and politics of Ireland and the Irish people. Since our humble beginnings in Sydney in 2015, IFF has gone from strength to strength. We’ve premiered moving dramas, thought-provoking documentaries, drop dead funny features, family films and created an annual celebration of Irish culture, language, music and history. And we’re growing every year. In 2020 - due to COVID restrictions - we went online. Our 2021 online festival attracted more viewers across more of Australia than ever before. Our Festival is a not-for-profit cultural event, brought to you by passionate industry professionals and supported by Irish artists, filmmakers and cultural institutions, the Irish expat community in Australia, and thousands of Australians (hardly surprising given 30% of Australians claim Irish ancestry). Part of an international network of Irish Film Festivals, we’re supported by the Irish Embassy and Consulate in Sydney, as well as a champion team of sponsors, event volunteers and loyal audience members.
