Dublin Feminist Film Festival

Dear friends of DFFF, we hope you are all getting through as best you can at this precarious time in the world.

We are sad to inform you that we have taken the decision to cancel this year’s festival – both the features and the shorts.

You've probably seen many other film and arts festivals going online this year, and we think that’s wonderful. For us, though, the Dublin Feminist Film Festival is as much about the community that gathers at the cinema each year as it is the programme we put on - the audience members who come to see the films, who cheer on their friends’ shorts, and who linger in the lobby to talk with us and each other about a wonderful film they’ve just seen. In short, the festival is as much about you as it is the films, and we don’t think we could capture that same spirit of community online.

Also, DFFF is an all-volunteer organisation, and with the demands that Covid-19 has put on all our lives, our little team cannot devote the time and attention that DFFF deserves for 2020.

We do, however, wholeheartedly look forward to DFFF 2021, to bringing on board new team members and ideas, and of course to seeing more work by women in film. If you think you might be interested in working with us to organise a stellar 2021 programme, please do get in touch.

In the meantime, stay tuned to our social media as we’ll be making recommendations for great women-led films throughout the rest of the year, and might even try to organise a “live” viewing or two.

Thank you so much to all the DFFF community, we wouldn’t still be here today without you. Stay safe and healthy out there, and we’ll see you in 2021!

Dublin Feminist Film Festival promotes and celebrates female filmmakers, hoping to inspire and empower others to get involved in filmmaking. This involves considering women on-screen, but also behind the camera, through celebrating and showcasing fantastic female filmmaking, as well as demonstrating that women make compelling and complex characters and subjects.
