In 2022 and 2023, we showed several films, from several different genres, all made by filmmakers in various stages of their career. Baz Black’s “Reflection” was shown in its director’s cut, as well as Emmy winner Niall McKay’s “The Ferry”, which was widely celebrated as a highlight of the festival in 2022.
In 2023, we saw an early cut of David Thomas’ documentary “Journey to Pride” as well as Zeff Lawless’ hilarious comedy, “Bingo”.
Baz Black - Filmmaker
“It was such a pleasure to have my film ‘Reflection’ selected at the Wicklow Stories Film Festival. Screened in the beautiful Whale Theatre this festival is run by passionate filmmakers so communication and promotion was amazing throughout. I have had numerous screenings of my films at festivals and this was a standout for sure.”
