Festival Description:

The Festival that is big enough to showcase the best and small enough to meet the people you need to meet…The Celtic Media Festival exists to promote the cultures and languages of the Celtic countries in film, on television, radio and new media. Primarily this is achieved through the festival - the major annual activity of the organization - and also through partnership events throughout the year. The Celtic Media Festival is also in a position to offer a distinctive view of the media industry to government consultations etc, which may otherwise be underrepresented.

The Celtic Media Festival's is supported by broadcast, film, cultural and economic development organisations throughout the Celtic countries.

The Festival is an annual three-day celebration of broadcasting, film talent and excellence from Scotland, Ireland, Wales, Cornwall and Brittany.
