" My first time being shortlisted at a film festival and what an honour for it to be at Waterford Film Festival. Waterford is a thriving community for any creative and in Central Arts the venue for the festival, that is clearly shown. The standard of films was exceptional. The fact they support writers is so important and again the standard was very competitive. A great Irish film festival for any filmmaker and/or screenwriter".

"Waterford Film Festival is a very friendly and cosy festival with a nice atmosphere, which is great for filmmakers and film enthusiasts who want to meet up and share some inspirational conversations about film". Marcella O'Connor
This was an excellent experience. Great organisation, cool venue and a welcoming team. The film selections was fabulous, with an eclectic mix of genres and styles going from traditional to experimental. It was amazing being in the midst of so many talented individuals. I particularly liked the way they celebrated and awarded all screenwriters participating in the competition. Great fun".

"Fantastic festival. The selection of films are electric and well chosen providing a weekend of entertainment along with the opportunity to network. The communication, hospitality and overall festival is one that filmmakers and writers should submit their work to, but it is also a festival for people who just love movies.Congratulations to all the organisers, you did a great job!

"Thrilled to be selected for Waterford Film Festival in 2020. A really fantastic film festival with a real connection to the industry and film makers. The festival was virtual because of the pandemic and we took part in networking sessions online. Great communication from the festival and would highly recommend. They have a well respected script competition as well. Put this festival on your watch list."

I was just thinking about your festival today... I had a wonderful time at your festival and meeting the people of Waterford. The filmmakers who I met were weird, wonderful, and inspiring! Thanks - the banner looks great as well...
I continue to spread the good word about your festival, so be prepared for a lot of Canadian content coming your way... Bryan
