Film in Limerick Reception and Awards Ceremony – 1st April

This panel, comprised of respected film critics working nationally, will reflect on whether critics are drawn from too small a pool. Internationally, they are primarily white, middle-class men. Is that true in Ireland? And does it impact the films reviewed and the perspective and taste of the reviewer? 


Organised by WFT in partnership with Screen Ireland. Moderated by Gemma Creagh (Film Ireland/Arena) with Ruth Barton (Arena); Roe McDermott (Hotpress); Mohamed, Tarek (Egyptian Film Critics Association); Chris Wasser ( Sunday Independent & Irish Examiner).
