Welcome to Fresh Film Festival

Fresh Film Festival is the place for all you aspiring young filmmakers to have your masterpieces screened in front of captive audiences, get invaluable feedback, see the latest inspiring feature films, take part in workshops and enter for consideration in the Ireland’s Young Filmmaker Competition annually.

We programme events year round and try to keep abreast of what’s happening with youth film abroad. We love to hear what Irish young filmmakers are up to and provide support in any way we can. So get in touch and keep an eye on the website for upcoming events and opportunities!

Hothouse – Productions

It might seem like all our energies are going into exporting your films but we are also working with the Hothouse group, who met on the last day of the festival. The Hothouse group proposed making a film over the summer and their Youth Ensemble Scheme application went through to the Arts Council in April.

Fresh are delighted to announce the Hothouse group application was successful and funds have been awarded to the group to make a short. Out of 44 applicants the Arts Council awarded 19 projects so a big Congratulations to the group!

The first pre-production day with the group will take place in Dublin before the end of August. We hope that production and post production will take place late October in Limerick.

Fresh will keep you posted on the progress…
