Fastnet Film Festival

FFF is a short film festival without a cinema providing those who attend with many alternatives, from screenings on Cape Clear, the village hall, local hotel, to café viewing in numerous local pubs and restaurants in town. Over 500 short films from over 40 countries are entered into competition each year for a share in the cash prize fund of €45,000. The Festival focuses on the craft of filmmaking hosting seminars, workshops and masterclasses with industry experts on all aspects of the film industry. Fringe events include film quiz, live music, family entertainment and much more.

PLEASE NOTE:

We are an independent festival dedicated to bringing together established and first-time filmmakers in a forum that celebrates short film. The element of competition is not paramount and while the prizes are significant, it’s the taking part and screening of entrants’ films in a public arena that counts. Short filmmakers work is rarely shown in the cinema. We endeavour, therefore, to screen as many of the short films entered into our competitions as possible throughout the village of Schull.
