Limerick City of Culture 2014 580x232

Hi all

Before we forget… we are going to be making some exciting changes for the 5th year of the festival.

Namely (pardon the pun) we are changing the name. From today we are working on the challenge of changing from the LIT Film Festival to the Limerick Film Festival.

This change is in line with our plans to promote Limerick during next year’s title of City of Culture 2014.

The festival will still be at the heart of LIT and the colleges calendar and with these changes to come the festival will grow and mature to attract more film makers, locally, nationally and internationally.

We hope you all support us during and after the changes are made and we will certainly keep you updated.

The new address for this website is www.limerickfilmfestival.net

Thanks for all the support so far and we look forward to working with you all in the future.

Simon.

Limerick Film Festival Director.

The weather just held off for myself and the other photographers yesterday for the St.Patricks Day festival in Limerick. Massive numbers marching again this year proving that Limerick certainly has a lot of community spirit. Non more so than in the great effort from local schools and colleges and community groups in breaking the world record for the most St.Patricks at a festival… (287 I think)
Well done to everyone on the day.

Was filming for the Limerick Communications Office and will be in town again today for the International Band Parade.. A favourite of mine.

We are delighted to welcome the short film entries entries by Pierre Gaffie from France. Pierre marks the first of the foreign entries to arrive at our desks here at Festival HQ.

With the partnership with ‘The Gathering Ireland 2013‘ the LIT Film Festival is hoping to encourage as many foreign film makers to submit their short films into our festival. There is no entry fee except the postage to get your films over to Ireland.

In previous years we have had films entered from, Northern Ireland, England and as far as Israel. The standard of these films from students and professionals alike have been inspiring to the audiences of our screenings during the festival.

If you are outside of Ireland but are looking to get your film noticed abroad then why not send us your short films (no more than 20mins) to the LIT Film Festival. (See here for entry forms)

Looking forward to showcasing the best in Irish and International film making talent.
