In 2021 Fresh will celebrate its 25th annual Fresh International Film Festival and will host the Ireland’s Young Filmmaker of the Year awards. Fresh Film is dedicated to encouraging young people aged 7 - 18 to make films and empowering them as young artists. The screenings offer the viewer a chance to glimpse the world as seen and imagined by young people.

Fresh Film has taken care in programming these collections of films made by 7 -18-year-old filmmakers. The collections reflect topics that are educational, interesting, and important to children & young people. We hope that you enjoy watching them. As we do not know your children & young people, we advise parents and guardians to preview the films before watching with younger children and to watch them together.

Fresh Film is dedicated to encouraging young people to make films and empowering them as young artists and is supported by Limerick City and County Council and The Arts Council.
