Fingal Film Festival (Dublin, Ireland)

About The Fingal Film Festival was launched in 2012. The festival offers a platform encouraging and promoting the work of the local film community and helps both national and international emerging filmmakers to showcase their work in an environment where they have access to experienced industry professionals.
