13th Waterford Film Festival
Fri 22 Nov - Sun 24 Nov 2019
Welcome
The 13th Waterford Film Festival is now open for submissions! Last year the festival saw an amazing response from filmmakers and writers with a record breaking amount of submissions for our film and screenplay competition. Filmmakers and writers submitted from 30 countries from across the globe.
This years festival will run between Friday 22nd Nov - Sun 24th Nov and for a 2nd year in a row Central Arts will host the Annual 3 day event in their relaxed and intimate screening room.
Since the festival started in 2007, we have screened over 600 films from local, national and international filmmakers. The festival also holds a screenplay competition. The WFF is the first film festival in the Republic of Ireland to hold a short screenplay competition.
The script competition is to encourage and support writers and every year we select up to 25 finalists and one of the prizes for the overall winner is access to filmmaking equipment and editing facilities with our partners at FilmLab Waterford.
The festival is a big supporter of independent film as well as films made by 1st time writers/producers/directors. Each year the festival screens a mix of professional films, 1st time filmmakers and student productions.
We are currently open for submissions for films and screenplays. To enter please go to the submission page for more details.
