The Catalyst International Film Festival will host the 4th edition of the festival in Limerick from 30th March to 1st April 2023, presenting a film programme that celebrates diverse stories and storytellers currently under-represented on screen and behind the camera. We want to create a more inclusive industry – films screened and all events will promote gender equality, diversity and inclusion whether in content, key creative roles or crew.
