Tune in from the 16th of November at 7pm
The Waterford International Film Festival (WIFF) was founded in 2007 by filmmaker Stephen Byrne, who continues to serve as the Festival Director. Now entering its 19th edition, WIFF returns 15th – 22nd November 2025 with a hybrid format featuring both in-person and online screenings.
WIFF is dedicated to showcasing a diverse range of short films, screenplays, and photography from Ireland and around the world. Our goal is to celebrate creativity across genres and mediums, giving voice to newcomers and award-winning artists alike.
As Ireland’s first film festival to launch a dedicated short screenplay competition, WIFF remains committed to championing creativity, supporting emerging voices, and showcasing high-quality storytelling through short-form content. From comedy to horror, drama to sci-fi, and everything in between — WIFF offers something for every film lover.
