Celebrating 30 Years of Young Filmmaking

Fresh International Film Festival celebrates its 30th anniversary in 2026, marking three decades of championing young filmmakers in Ireland and beyond. Since 1996, Fresh has provided a platform for emerging voices, supporting young people to develop their creativity and see their work on the big screen.

This year’s festival brings together screenings, workshops, industry events and the Ireland’s Young Filmmaker of the Year Awards, alongside the Youth Cinema Network Conference, welcoming international youth film organisations to Limerick as part of this special celebration.
