Cork International Film Festival was delighted to welcome partners, supporters and invited guests to our annual Culinary Cinema evening at The Montenotte on Wednesday, 1 July.
Presented in partnership with The Montenotte, and supported by our Whiskey Partner Redbreast, the evening celebrated the unique power of cinema to bring people together through exceptional storytelling, food and shared experiences.

Guests were welcomed with bespoke Redbreast whiskey cocktails before enjoying an exclusive preview screening in The Montenotte’s Cameo Cinema. Inspired by the Italian Riviera, the private film screening set the tone for an immersive culinary experience that continued with a specially curated three-course dinner reflecting the flavours and atmosphere of the Ligurian coast.
The event forms part of CIFF’s year-round programme of partner engagement, bringing together supporters from across the business, cultural and civic communities while celebrating the collaborative partnerships that help make the Festival possible.

Our sincere thanks to Redbreast, The Montenotte and everyone who joined us for such a memorable evening. We look forward to welcoming audiences, partners and supporters back for the 71st Cork International Film Festival this November.
