Submit to Catalyst 2024

 Be a part of Ireland's flagship diversity, inclusion and equality film festival, where diversity is the norm, not merely accommodated.

For inclusion in the Catalyst International Film Festival 2024, films and scripts need to satisfy a number of criteria in order to demonstrate how content and personnel contribute to diversity.

Our Festival

There will be panel discussions and Q & A's where topical issues of the day will be enthusiastically debated with filmmakers, guest speakers, industry personnel and audience members. We believe that equality is key to enriching filmmaking and audiences and it is core to this festival.

Our Mission

 Catalyst International Film Festival presents a film programme  that prioritises stories and storytellers currently under-represented on  screen and behind the camera. We want to create a more inclusive  industry and films screened here will promote gender equality, diversity  and inclusion whether in content, key creative roles or crew. 

RUTH NEGGA | FESTIVAL AMBASSADOR

"It swells the heart to welcome everybody back and to growing our Shannon side film festival, Catalyst International Film Festival and celebrating the many different faces of our film industry and its future.  As our industry experiences a resurgence of exciting attention, it has become increasingly clear that Ireland has extraordinary talent. Let’s nurture and support it so we can continue to explore our ever-evolving identity and culture through the collective in film by encouraging and supporting all Irish voices! Join us for Catalyst International Film Festival, 2023!"
Ruth Negga, Catalyst International Film Festival Festival Ambassador.  

Dr Susan Liddy, film festival founder and Director, is enthusiastic about the festival’s association with Ruth Negga. 

“We are very proud and honoured to welcome the talented actor, Ruth Negga, to the role of Ambassador for Catalyst International Film Festival. Ruth is hugely supportive of the festival’s ethos so there is a real meeting of minds in this partnership. Ruth also has strong ties to Limerick, having lived in the city for many years as a child. Her connection remains strong and, indeed, she still has extended family living here. We look forward to working with her to focus attention on the need for a more diverse and inclusive industry.”
