The final cut on filmmaking in Cork?
In 1993, when the Cork Film Centre (CFC) was founded, these wonderful stories lived only in print; they had rarely been told in moving pictures. In that year, not one local film was screened at the Cork Film Festival. CFC set out to change that.
As it is easier and cheaper to make quality films without Hollywood-style budgets, filmmakers are proliferating in the city and county. We have three ! film festivals in Cork, and Ballincollig boasts Ireland’s only dedicated video art gallery. With the farsighted support of the county and city councils, the Cork Screen Commission has been making its presence felt, nationally and internationally.
