The Limerick Film Festival is back! Now in its sixth year, the LIT-founded three-day event has grown in size and reputation – attracting hundreds of filmmakers and visitors from home and abroad. Countries such as USA, Canada, Japan, Belgium, France, Israel and Spain have been represented since its inception.

The Limerick Film Festival team is excited to be bringing professional filmmakers, actors, producers, directors and many more to the city in April 2015. The continued focus on expanding the festival in and around the city remains. The Short Film Awards Show will give the filmmaking talent of Limerick a chance to show off their skills to a wider national and international audience.
