Submissions are currently being invited for the annual Galway Film Fair which will run this year from the 7th to the 9th July as part of the Galway Film Fleadh (5-10 July). The deadline for the pitching event is earlier than it has been in previous years at Friday, April 29th.
Galway Film Fair organisers co-ordinate pre-scheduled meetings between filmmakers with projects in development and invited Film Financiers, Distributors and Major Producers. The event aims to be a unique opportunity for filmmakers to meet with the world’s leading financiers in an intimate and informal atmosphere, allowing new talent to be discovered and long term partnerships to be made. Approximately 550 meetings are organised during the two day event and around 80 Irish and European producers are invited to pitch their projects to approximately 65 financiers.
Filmmakers with completed films/documentaries or a project in development who wish to participate in the event are asked to complete the application form available on the Galway Film Fair website and return it by Friday April 29th along with the required €175 registration fee and a 100 word synopsis of their project. Applicants should note that priority will be given to completed feature films or projects which have a finished screenplay available and a percentage of development and/or production finance in place.
Further details and the event’s application form are available on the Galway Film Fleadh website here: www.galwayfilmfleadh.com
