IFI Documentary Festival (formerly known as Stranger Than Fiction) has been expanded to five days and will take place between September 23-27th 2015.
The IFI are now accepting entries of Irish feature-length documentaries (over 60-minutes) and Irish and international short documentaries (under 20-minutes). International features are programmed on an invitation-only basis and no entries in this category will be accepted. Submission deadline is 6pm June 24th 2015.
All Irish feature-length entries must be Dublin premieres. For short documentaries, premiere status is not required but preference will be given to shorts which are Dublin premieres.
