LIFF 2021 FAQ
1. How much are tickets for the festival?
The Festival is free and Screen 1 does not use tickets and although some seats will be reserved, it will operate on a first come first served basis until capacity is reached. Under the current Covid 19 restriction, we are allowed to use 60% of the capacity (210 Seats) in the main theatre. Screen 2 is also free but because of the reduced capacity all screening Blocks are ticketed and are will be available to reverse on FilmFreeway from Wednesday the 29th of September. Alternatively, you can keep up to date via our social media or via the link above.
2. Is there a way to donate money to the festival?
Yes, we will have collection buckets on the day of the festival and we also have a Paypal account you can donate to ‘info@irishfilmmakers.org’. Donations are not necessary but greatly appreciated. The festival is run on a completely voluntary basis and all money raised goes to its running the festival. The remaining amount goes to the Louth Filmmakers Society which is the non-profit that runs the festival.
3. Is the festival suitable for children?
It is also important to note that anyone under 18 must be accompanied by an adult. Although there are some films that would be suitable for children, there are many that deal with subject matters that would not be. The feature film ‘County Lines’ is rated as 15A for example.
