DICFF is about celebrating comedy in film.
So often comedy is overlooked in favour of drama. Drama is in fact easier to write, direct and perform.
Comedy is much more difficult and you know if you've succeeded or failed by how many laughs you get!
So, DICFF is here to ensure comedy gets it's due. We want to support our comedic storytellers and celebrate your craft.

    We had a great time at DICFF and it was a real honour to have our first short film selected for the festival. We got to see some really interesting (and hilarious) shorts as well as listening in on the Q&A sessions which were very informative. The closing night was unreal craic and the team behind the festival couldn’t have been more welcoming. Hope to be in attendance again next year!
