Cork International Film Festival (CIFF) is Ireland’s oldest and largest film festival, celebrating its 70th edition in 2025. Our mission is to present Ireland’s most exciting, diverse, and ambitious annual film festival, connecting and stimulating audiences and artists through a carefully curated selection of the best films, to create a unique shared cultural experience, rooted in Cork, open to the world.
CIFF welcomes submissions of features and shorts, and all forms of film production – fiction, documentary, animation, experimental, etc. We champion new voices and celebrate excellence in filmmaking throughout our programme. We also recognise filmmakers’ achievements through our 14 Awards, three of which are Academy Award® qualifying.
If selected, applicants to the 2025 edition will be notified by September 2025.
The Festival requires Irish premieres for most of its strands, please contact us at info@corkfilmfest.org if your film receives another invitation for Irish or Cork city premiere and you need guidance to ensure that your film remains eligible for CIFF.
