Chicago Irish Film Festival is Live!

It’s Festival Time…..hip, hip, horray!
 
We are literally counting down the minutes to the Official Opening of the 22nd Chicago Irish Film Festival

Join us at 6.45pm (CT) for the official opening event hosted by Ferdia Doherty who will tell us how to maximize our festival experience. Special guest, Consul General of Ireland-Chicago, Mr. Kevin Byrne, will present the 2021 Consulate of Ireland Award.  
 
In addition three other awards will be announced - Festival Award1 Minute Irish Award and 2021 Special Covid-19 Award.

This is our first virtual festival.
How does it work?
 
All feature films, documentaries, shorts programs and our 2021 Special Partner programs will be available to watch anytime, on-demand,  starting at 7:00pm this evening, until 11:55pm on Monday 8 March unless otherwise noted. Keep in mind you will only be able to access the virtual films within this timeframe. Each individual film link is good for one use and once a link is clicked, you will have 72 hours to finish watching.  
 
We have compiled a guide on How to Fest which should answer any questions you may have and we highly recommend you read it through before viewing.  This is also available on our website.
 
You can access the Interactive Film Program here and while there, you can watch each film trailer by clicking on the word 'Trailer'.

We are all attending the festival virtually this year and missing out on the human interaction, conversations and craic with other film-goers and film-makers.  To try and create a sense of hanging out with the CIFF community, we encourage you to post about what you are watching on your various social media channels, using the following hashtags:-

So get the popcorn and drinks ready and start viewing !
Don't forget to stay in touch on social media as the weekend progresses and let us know what you are watching.

And now all that remains is to wish each and every one of you a wonderful festival experience. 

Slán go fóill,

Team CIFF
