Information on the festival:
Corona Cork Film Festival attracts over 30,000 admissions each year, a

The festival attracts audiences, primarily from the Cork region,
but also all over Ireland, and filmmakers from Europe and across the world.
The great majority of the festival's audiences are young
(18 to 40 year olds), educated and culturally aware.
In addition to screening over 250 films, the festival runs
various side-bar events including workshops, exhibitions,
book launches, lectures, parties, receptions, etc.
Corona Cork Film Festival is regarded internationally as a friendly,
well-organised and socially active festival, where guests,
filmmakers and the general public interact, creating a vibrant,
friendly and entertaining atmosphere.
A programme for young audiences and families is run in conjunction
with the festival. This programme screens films suitable for
children across all age groups as well as providing educational
seminars and workshops for children and young people.
