Docs Ireland

Docs Ireland is back for our third year and this is your chance to be part of it! We are inviting submissions for Docs Ireland 3 which will take in August 2021. We are currently having discussions whilst keeping note of local restrictions, and so our festival is likely to include online events, but with a focus on maximising our in-person events. Docs Ireland is an annual dynamic programme of events showcasing the Irish documentary industry. It’s the only festival of it's kind in Ireland, run by the team behind Belfast Film Festival, and chaired by award winning, Internationally renowned documentary film maker, Mark Cousins. Docs Ireland showcases high quality documentaries that inspire, educate and enliven cultural discourse. Documentary is the medium, now more than ever, that helps us make sense of the strange times we are living through. After a successful first edition, and an online festival in the strange year of 2020, we're back in 2021 for round 3! Throughout the festival we will present new and international documentaries, shorts and features, and will host industry events including a marketplace, pitching sessions, masterclasses, new talent focus and funding information events.
