Cork Film Festival make chief and programmer redundant

The Board of Cork Film Festival has announced staff changes, after an independent strategic review of its operations.

Organisers of Ireland’s longest-running film festival were told they have an unsustainable structure.

They have decided to make the positions of CEO, held by Mick Hannigan, and Festival Programmer, Una Feely, redundant, and have thanked the personnel involved for all their efforts over the years.

Cork Film Festival will take place, as normal, in November of this year.
